For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 13 (WLOS), CBS on channel 7 (WSPA-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WYFF), Fox on channel 21 (WHNS) and CW on channel 62 (WYCW). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna W, at about 274°. The main network towers for Landrum sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSPA-TV and WYCW, transmit from the same tower site about 5.7 miles west of Landrum (267° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Landrum at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Landrum is WLOS (ABC), 36 miles away with a fair 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.
