Two network stations, KAUZ-TV and KFDX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles southwest of Waurika (240° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Waurika at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Waurika

The farthest main network tower for Waurika is KJTL (Fox), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
