Which way to point your antenna in Biloxi

The main network towers around Biloxi are in different directions: ABC 332° NNW (26 mi), CBS 72° ENE (66 mi) and Fox 72° ENE (68 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WLOX and WXXV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles northwest of Biloxi (332° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Biloxi at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WALA-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Biloxi. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Biloxi

The farthest main network tower for Biloxi is WALA-TV (Fox), 68 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Other stations near Biloxi

Full-power independents, low-power stations and translators that relay a bigger station's signal.

Setting up an antenna in Biloxi: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 72° ENE, the direction of WALA-TV (Fox), 68 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 8 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.
