WMDN (CBS) and WGBC (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Ellisville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Ellisville is WGBC (Fox), 58 miles away with a 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.

WHLT is only 14 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 9 stations at fair strength or better, Ellisville ranks 86th of 217 places in Mississippi: the same as the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
