No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WMDN in Meridian, MS, 112 miles to the east. 4 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 ESE, at about 115°. The main network towers for Edwards sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WJTV, WLBT and WDBD, transmit from the same tower site about 13 miles southeast of Edwards (118° ESE). 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 Edwards at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Edwards is WAPT (ABC), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
