TV channels & antenna towers in Humboldt, Tennessee

With roughly 8,310 residents, Humboldt is a town in Tennessee. Our map shows 33 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 13 full-power, 3 Class A and 17 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 8 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

5 of them are within 25 miles of Humboldt, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7 (WBBJ-TV), CBS on channel 3 (WREG-TV), Fox on channel 16 (WJKT), CW on channel 39.2 (WNBJ-LD), ION on channel 50 (WPXX-TV), Telemundo on channel 14 (WTME-LD) and Trinity on channel 40 (WBUY-TV). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WMC-TV in Memphis, TN, 71 miles to the southwest. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very 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.

The main network towers around Humboldt are in different directions: ABC 135° SE (18 mi) and Fox 259° W (10 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WATN-TV, WBUY-TV and WLMT, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles southwest of Humboldt (232° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Humboldt at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Humboldt is WBBJ-TV (ABC), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WREG-TV (CBS), 68 miles southwest, 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.

WJKT is only 10 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.

With 8 stations at fair strength or better, Humboldt ranks 252nd of 299 places in Tennessee: fewer than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 10 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

31% of Tennessee's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Jackson, 15 miles away.
