Which way to point your antenna in Pierre Part

Point your antenna N, at about 354°. The main network towers for Pierre Part 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 25 miles north of Pierre Part (350° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pierre Part at fair strength or better, 70% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pierre Part

The farthest main network tower for Pierre Part is WAFB (CBS), 28 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KATC (ABC), 70 miles west and KADN-TV (Fox), 66 miles northwest, 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.
