Which way to point your antenna in Seymour

Point your antenna WNW, at about 292°. The main network towers for Seymour sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KOLR and KRBK, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles northwest of Seymour (297° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Seymour at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Seymour

The farthest main network tower for Seymour is KRBK (Fox), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KYTV is only 9.7 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 Seymour: 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 297° WNW, the direction of KRBK (Fox), 11 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 13 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.
