Over-the-air TV in Homer

With roughly 3,010 residents, Homer is a town in Louisiana. Our map shows 22 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 11 full-power, 3 Class A, 7 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Homer, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 17 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Shreveport, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Shreveport's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Homer

The main network towers around Homer are in different directions: ABC 262° W (52 mi), CBS 261° W (52 mi), NBC 67° ENE (52 mi) and Fox 261° W (52 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, KTBS-TV, KPXJ, KSLA, KMSS-TV and KSHV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 52 miles west of Homer (262° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Homer at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Homer

The farthest main network tower for Homer is KTVE (NBC), 52 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Homer: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 67° ENE, the direction of KTVE (NBC), 52 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 10 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
