By distance, 13 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 12 farther out. Five of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Huntsville, AL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Huntsville's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 4 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 ENE, at about 73°. The main network towers for Jasper sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

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

The farthest main network tower for Jasper is WRCB (NBC), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WZDX (Fox), 56 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.

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.
