Which way to point your antenna in Piedmont

Point your antenna ESE, at about 109°. The main network towers for Piedmont sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KWTV-DT, KTBO-TV, KOPX-TV, KAUT-TV and KFOR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles east of Piedmont (102° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Piedmont at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Piedmont

The farthest main network tower for Piedmont is KOKH-TV (Fox), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KWTV-DT is only 15 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.
