TV channels & antenna towers in University, Mississippi

University is a town of about 4,200 people in Mississippi. There are 37 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 4 Class A and 17 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 32 farther out. Seven of the 11 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 strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9.2 (WTVA), CBS on channel 3 (WREG-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WMC-TV), Fox on channel 4.2 (WCBI-TV), CW on channel 27 (WLOV-TV), 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). 6 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 University are in different directions: ABC 147° SSE (47 mi), CBS 343° NNW (59 mi), NBC 340° NNW (59 mi) and Fox 139° SE (56 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WHBQ-TV, WREG-TV and WMC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 59 miles north of University (342° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach University at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WREG-TV (CBS) and WMC-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from University. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for University is WMC-TV (NBC), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WEBU-LD is only 1.4 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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, University ranks 14th of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 47 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 Oxford, 0.4 miles away.
