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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Stonewall

The farthest main network tower for Stonewall is WGBC (Fox), 15 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WDAM-TV (ABC), 55 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.

WGBC is only 15 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.

Setting up an antenna in Stonewall: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 24° NNE, the direction of WGBC (Fox), 15 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 8 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
