TV channels & antenna towers in Chapel Hill, Tennessee

With roughly 1,470 residents, Chapel Hill is a small community in Tennessee. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 38 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 3 Class A and 18 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 22 between 25 and 45 miles, and 14 farther out. Eight of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Nashville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Nashville's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 2 (WKRN-TV), CBS on channel 5 (WTVF), NBC on channel 4 (WSMV-TV), Fox on channel 54 (WZDX), CW on channel 17.2 (WZTV), ION on channel 28 (WNPX-LD), Telemundo on channel 29 (WTNX-LD), Univision on channel 42 (WLLC-LD), MeTV on channel 44.1 (WJFB) and Trinity on channel 50 (WPGD-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 5 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 NNW, at about 348°. The main network towers for Chapel Hill sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WZTV, WTVF, WJFB and WPGD-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles north of Chapel Hill (353° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Chapel Hill at fair strength or better, 58% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Chapel Hill is WTVF (CBS), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WZDX (Fox), 62 miles south, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Chapel Hill ranks 53rd of 299 places in Tennessee: more than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

38% of Tennessee's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Spring Hill, 16 miles away.
