TV channels & antenna towers in Wade, Mississippi

Wade, Mississippi has a population of about 1,070. Our map shows 26 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 17 full-power and 9 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Wade, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 16 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Mobile, AL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Mobile's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 13 (WLOX), CBS on channel 5 (WKRG-TV), Fox on channel 10 (WALA-TV), PBS on channel 23 (WSRE), CW on channel 55 (WFNA), Telemundo on channel 31 (WMBP-LD), MeTV on channel 51.1 (WTBL-LD) and Trinity on channel 21 (WMPV-TV). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WDSU in New Orleans, LA, 96 miles to the southwest. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 8 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 Wade are in different directions: ABC 280° W (31 mi) and CBS 86° E (44 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WKRG-TV, WFNA and WALA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles east of Wade (86° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wade at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Wade is WKRG-TV (CBS), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WALA-TV (Fox), 46 miles east and WSRE (PBS), 57 miles east, 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 17 stations at fair strength or better, Wade ranks 14th of 217 places in Mississippi: more than the typical Mississippi town (9). Its nearest major network tower is 30 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
