Which way to point your antenna in Mansura

The main network towers around Mansura are in different directions: ABC 196° SSW (53 mi), CBS 134° SE (69 mi), NBC 138° SE (68 mi) and Fox 192° SSW (49 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WGMB-TV, WBRL-CD and WVLA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles southeast of Mansura (138° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mansura at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across four other directions.

WAFB (CBS) and WVLA-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Mansura. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mansura

The farthest main network tower for Mansura is WAFB (CBS), 69 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 Mansura: 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 134° SE, the direction of WAFB (CBS), 69 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 14 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.
