Over-the-air TV in Ossun

With roughly 2,140 residents, Ossun is a small community in Louisiana. Our map shows 36 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 14 full-power, 10 Class A, 11 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

12 of them are within 25 miles of Ossun, 0 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 24 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 14 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 3 (KATC), CBS on channel 9 (WAFB), NBC on channel 33 (WVLA-TV), Fox on channel 15 (KADN-TV), CW on channel 44.2 (WGMB-TV), Telemundo on channel 50.3 (KLWB) and MeTV on channel 39.2 (WBXH-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal). 4 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 Ossun

Point your antenna WNW, at about 301°. The main network towers for Ossun sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KLFY-TV and KATC, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles west of Ossun (287° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ossun at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Ossun

The farthest main network tower for Ossun is KATC (ABC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WAFB (CBS), 54 miles east and WVLA-TV (NBC), 50 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.

KADN-TV is only 8.5 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Setting up an antenna in Ossun: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 287° WNW, the direction of KATC (ABC), 11 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 20 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.
