TV channels & antenna towers in Taylorsville, Mississippi

Taylorsville is a small community of about 1,300 people in Mississippi. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 20 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 5 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Taylorsville, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Jackson, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Jackson's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7.2 (WDAM-TV), CBS on channel 24 (WMDN), NBC on channel 3 (WLBT), Fox on channel 40 (WDBD), CW on channel 22.2 (WHLT) and Trinity on channel 34 (WRBJ-TV). 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Taylorsville are in different directions: ABC 162° SSE (27 mi), CBS 51° NE (55 mi), NBC 296° WNW (62 mi) and Fox 296° WNW (62 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WGBC, WMDN and WTOK-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 55 miles northeast of Taylorsville (51° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Taylorsville at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WMDN (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Taylorsville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Taylorsville is WDBD (Fox), 62 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Taylorsville ranks 51st of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 21 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

44% of Mississippi's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Hattiesburg, 36 miles away.
