Which way to point your antenna in Dundee

The main network towers around Dundee are in different directions: ABC 30° NNE (41 mi), CBS 36° NE (42 mi), NBC 142° SE (25 mi) and Fox 152° SSE (24 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WTVG, WUPW and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles southeast of Dundee (146° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dundee at fair strength or better, 46% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Dundee

The farthest main network tower for Dundee is WWJ-TV (CBS), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
