Which way to point your antenna in Angier

Point your antenna NE, at about 46°. The main network towers for Angier sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WTVD, WRAL-TV, WRTD-CD, WNCN and WRAZ and others, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles northeast of Angier (46° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Angier at fair strength or better, 58% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Angier

The farthest main network tower for Angier is WRAZ (Fox), 17 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXLV-TV (ABC), 66 miles northwest and WFMY-TV (CBS), 67 miles west, 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.

WUVC-DT is only 13 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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 46° NE, the direction of WRAZ (Fox), 17 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 28 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.
