Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 24 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Walkertown, 23 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Raleigh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Raleigh's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 45 (WXLV-TV), CBS on channel 17 (WNCN), NBC on channel 5 (WRAL-TV), Fox on channel 50 (WRAZ), CW on channel 22 (WLFL), ION on channel 47 (WRPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 54 (WRTD-CD) and Univision on channel 40 (WUVC-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NNE, at about 31°. The main network towers for Walkertown 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 31 miles northeast of Walkertown (31° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Walkertown 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 Walkertown, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Walkertown is WRAZ (Fox), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WXLV-TV (ABC), 70 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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 24 stations at fair strength or better, Walkertown ranks 61st of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 18 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
