Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 27 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 19 at good or strong strength.

10 of them are within 25 miles of Kingsville, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Nine of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Washington, DC, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Washington's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Kingsville

Point your antenna WSW, at about 238°. The main network towers for Kingsville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WNUV, WBFF, WJZ-TV, WMAR-TV and WBAL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles southwest of Kingsville (238° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kingsville at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Kingsville

The farthest main network tower for Kingsville is WJZ-TV (CBS), 15 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WRC-TV (NBC), 50 miles southwest and WETA-TV (PBS), 49 miles southwest, 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.

WNUV is only 15 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 Kingsville: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 238° WSW, the direction of WJZ-TV (CBS), 15 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 27 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.
