Three network stations, WATN-TV, WBUY-TV and WLMT, transmit from the same tower site about 57 miles southwest of Dyersburg (203° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dyersburg at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WREG-TV (CBS) and WMC-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Dyersburg. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Dyersburg is WMC-TV (NBC), 66 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 9 stations at fair strength or better, Dyersburg ranks 248th of 299 places in Tennessee: fewer than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

31% of Tennessee's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Jackson, 43 miles away.
