Over-the-air TV in Napoleonville

With roughly 639 residents, Napoleonville is a small community in Louisiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 40 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 13 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

2 of them are within 25 miles of Napoleonville, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 22 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Baton Rouge, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baton Rouge's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 2 (WBRZ-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WWL-TV), NBC on channel 33 (WVLA-TV), Fox on channel 8 (WVUE-DT), CW on channel 44.2 (WGMB-TV), ION on channel 49 (WPXL-TV), Telemundo on channel 30.2 (WLFT-CD) and MeTV on channel 39.2 (WBXH-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 5 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 Napoleonville

Point your antenna NNW, at about 334°. The main network towers for Napoleonville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WGMB-TV, WBRL-CD and WVLA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles northwest of Napoleonville (331° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Napoleonville at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Napoleonville

The farthest main network tower for Napoleonville is WVLA-TV (NBC), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WWL-TV (CBS), 59 miles east and WVUE-DT (Fox), 64 miles east, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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.

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
