Two network stations, WLIO and WOHL-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles southwest of McComb (217° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach McComb at fair strength or better, 57% 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 McComb, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for McComb

The farthest main network tower for McComb is WNWO-TV (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WBGU-TV is only 6.3 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.

Setting up an antenna in McComb: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 30° NNE, the direction of WNWO-TV (NBC), 45 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 13 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
