Which way to point your antenna in Jennings

Point your antenna ENE, at about 71°. The main network towers for Jennings sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KATC and KLFY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles east of Jennings (72° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jennings at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Jennings

The farthest main network tower for Jennings is KADN-TV (Fox), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

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