Which way to point your antenna in Snow Hill
Point your antenna SE, at about 125°. The main network towers for Snow Hill sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WITN-TV and WNCT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles east of Snow Hill (110° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Snow Hill at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Snow Hill, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Snow Hill
The farthest main network tower for Snow Hill is WCTI-TV (ABC), 31 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WNCN (CBS), 50 miles west and WRAZ (Fox), 50 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.
WUNK-TV is only 8.3 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.
