Which way to point your antenna in Glendale

Point your antenna NNE, at about 12°. The main network towers for Glendale sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Glendale

The farthest main network tower for Glendale is WDAM-TV (ABC), 6.3 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.

WHLT is only 4.9 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.
