Which way to point your antenna in Harahan

Point your antenna E, at about 91°. The main network towers for Harahan sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WNOL-TV, WDSU, WGNO, WVUE-DT and KGLA-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles east of Harahan (87° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Harahan at fair strength or better, 70% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Harahan, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Harahan

The farthest main network tower for Harahan is WVUE-DT (Fox), 15 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

KNLD-LD is only 2.1 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
