TV channels & antenna towers in Ashland, Mississippi

Ashland, Mississippi has a population of about 538. Our map shows 37 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 15 full-power, 4 Class A and 18 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Ashland, 17 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, TN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 24 (WATN-TV), CBS on channel 3 (WREG-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WMC-TV), Fox on channel 13 (WHBQ-TV), CW on channel 30 (WLMT), ION on channel 50 (WPXX-TV), Telemundo on channel 14 (WTME-LD) and Trinity on channel 40 (WBUY-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna WNW, at about 303°. The main network towers for Ashland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WREG-TV and WHBQ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles northwest of Ashland (303° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ashland at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Ashland is WHBQ-TV (Fox), 45 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WATN-TV (ABC), 46 miles northwest and WMC-TV (NBC), 46 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.

WBII-CD is only 0.2 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.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Ashland ranks 24th of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 44 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
