Point your antenna ENE, at about 63°. The main network towers for Port Gibson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WJTV, WLBT and WDBD, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles northeast of Port Gibson (60° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Port Gibson at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Port Gibson is WDBD (Fox), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WAPT (ABC), 46 miles northeast, 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.
