Which way to point your antenna in Clyde
Point your antenna NW, at about 319°. The main network towers for Clyde sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WNWO-TV and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles northwest of Clyde (322° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Clyde at fair strength or better, 80% 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 Clyde, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Clyde
The farthest main network tower for Clyde is WUPW (Fox), 34 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WEWS-TV (ABC), 65 miles east, 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.
