Harriman is a town of about 6,220 people in Tennessee. There are 36 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 4 Class A, 13 low-power and 4 translators.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 22 farther out. Four of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Knoxville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Knoxville's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 6 (WATE-TV), CBS on channel 8 (WVLT-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WBIR-TV), Fox on channel 43 (WTNZ), CW on channel 20 (WBXX-TV) and ION on channel 54 (WPXK-TV). 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 E, at about 82°. The main network towers for Harriman sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WTNZ, WVLT-TV, WATE-TV, WBIR-TV and WPXK-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles east of Harriman (83° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Harriman at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Harriman is WBIR-TV (NBC), 35 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Harriman ranks 240th of 299 places in Tennessee: fewer than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 17 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
