By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 3 farther out. Four of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Jackson, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Jackson's stations.

The main network towers around Byram are in different directions: ABC 337° NNW (7.4 mi), NBC 287° WNW (8.4 mi) and Fox 287° WNW (8.4 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WLBT, WDBD and WJTV, transmit from the same tower site about 8.4 miles west of Byram (287° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Byram at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Byram is WDBD (Fox), 8.4 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WAPT is only 7.4 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Byram ranks 61st of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 7.4 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

21% of Mississippi's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Jackson, 9.0 miles away.
