Which way to point your antenna in Paulina

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Paulina at fair strength or better, 64% 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 Paulina, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Paulina

The farthest main network tower for Paulina is WWL-TV (CBS), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WGNO (ABC), 46 miles east and WVUE-DT (Fox), 46 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.
Point it toward 101° ESE, the direction of WWL-TV (CBS), 41 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 18 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.
