Which way to point your antenna in Conway
The main network towers around Conway are in different directions: ABC 322° NW (35 mi), CBS 135° SE (16 mi), NBC 138° SE (18 mi) and Fox 133° SE (17 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Three network stations, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV and WPNT, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles southeast of Conway (135° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Conway at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Conway, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Conway
The farthest main network tower for Conway is WYTV (ABC), 35 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.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Conway: 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 322° NW, the direction of WYTV (ABC), 35 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 25 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.
