Which way to point your antenna in Garden View

The main network towers around Garden View are in different directions: ABC 94° E (61 mi), CBS 94° E (61 mi), NBC 94° E (61 mi) and Fox 172° S (63 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WYOU, WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV and WOLF-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles east of Garden View (94° E). 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 Garden View at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

WPMT (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Garden View. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Garden View

The farthest main network tower for Garden View is WPMT (Fox), 63 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WQMY is only 5.3 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.

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 172° S, the direction of WPMT (Fox), 63 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
