TV channels & antenna towers in North Tunica, Mississippi

With roughly 1,040 residents, North Tunica is a small community in Mississippi. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 12 full-power, 2 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Seven of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, TN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 24 (WATN-TV), CBS on channel 3 (WREG-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WMC-TV), Fox on channel 13 (WHBQ-TV), CW on channel 30 (WLMT), ION on channel 50 (WPXX-TV), Telemundo on channel 14 (WTME-LD) and Trinity on channel 40 (WBUY-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 5 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 NE, at about 42°. The main network towers for North Tunica sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WMC-TV and WHBQ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles northeast of North Tunica (41° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach North Tunica at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for North Tunica is WHBQ-TV (Fox), 45 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WATN-TV (ABC), 52 miles northeast and WREG-TV (CBS), 45 miles northeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 12 stations at fair strength or better, North Tunica ranks 43rd of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 43 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

35% of Mississippi's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Horn Lake, 26 miles away.
