Within 70 miles of the town center we count 27 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 3 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of De Lisle, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to New Orleans, LA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from New Orleans's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in De Lisle

The main network towers around De Lisle are in different directions: ABC 23° NNE (26 mi), CBS 235° SW (57 mi), NBC 235° SW (51 mi) and Fox 234° SW (50 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 northeast of De Lisle (23° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach De Lisle at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for De Lisle

The farthest main network tower for De Lisle is WWL-TV (CBS), 57 miles away with a good 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.

Setting up an antenna in De Lisle: 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 235° SW, the direction of WWL-TV (CBS), 57 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 15 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.
