The main network towers around Lexington are in different directions: ABC 303° WNW (33 mi), NBC 197° SSW (65 mi) and Fox 197° SSW (65 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WJTV, WLBT and WDBD, transmit from the same tower site about 64 miles south of Lexington (199° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lexington at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lexington is WDBD (Fox), 65 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
