Which way to point your antenna in White Pigeon

Point your antenna WSW, at about 247°. The main network towers for White Pigeon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSBT-TV and WNDU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles southwest of White Pigeon (247° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach White Pigeon at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for White Pigeon

The farthest main network tower for White Pigeon is WNDU-TV (NBC), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPTA (ABC), 54 miles southeast and WANE-TV (CBS), 54 miles southeast, 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.
