Point your antenna SW, at about 232°. The main network towers for Walters sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KSWO-TV and KJTL, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles southwest of Walters (247° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Walters at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Walters

The farthest main network tower for Walters is KAUZ-TV (CBS), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

  2. Point it toward 203° SSW, the direction of KAUZ-TV (CBS), 34 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
