Which way to point your antenna in Mamou

Point your antenna SSE, at about 154°. The main network towers for Mamou 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 south of Mamou (160° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mamou at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mamou

The farthest main network tower for Mamou is KATC (ABC), 23 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Mamou: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 160° SSE, the direction of KATC (ABC), 23 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 15 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.
