The main network towers around Kiln are in different directions: ABC 43° NE (30 mi), NBC 225° SW (45 mi) and Fox 224° SW (44 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, KGLA-DT, WPXL-TV, WVUE-DT, WNOL-TV and WDSU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles southwest of Kiln (226° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Kiln is WDSU (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WWL-TV (CBS), 50 miles southwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Kiln ranks 21st of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 26 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
