TV channels & antenna towers in Lebanon, Tennessee

Lebanon is a town of about 30,300 people in Tennessee. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 40 licensed TV transmitters: 16 full-power, 3 Class A and 21 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 23 between 25 and 45 miles, and 15 farther out. Eight of the 15 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), CW on channel 17.2 (WZTV), ION on channel 28 (WNPX-TV), 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). No Fox affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WZDX in Huntsville, AL, 103 miles to the south. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (fair signal). 7 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 W, at about 263°. The main network towers for Lebanon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WTVF, WZTV, WJFB and WPGD-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles west of Lebanon (279° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lebanon at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lebanon is WSMV-TV (NBC), 32 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.

WHTN is only 12 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 21 stations at fair strength or better, Lebanon ranks 49th of 299 places in Tennessee: more than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 27 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 Murfreesboro, 26 miles away.
