Which way to point your antenna in Greenville

Point your antenna SSW, at about 208°. The main network towers for Greenville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WCBS-TV, WNYW, WNBC, WNJU and WPXN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles southwest of Greenville (208° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenville at fair strength or better, 90% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenville

The farthest main network tower for Greenville is WNYW (Fox), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
