Which way to point your antenna in Norco

Point your antenna E, at about 99°. The main network towers for Norco sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WNOL-TV, WDSU, WGNO, WVUE-DT and KGLA-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles east of Norco (97° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Norco at fair strength or better, 70% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Norco

The farthest main network tower for Norco is WVUE-DT (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.
