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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Luttrell

The farthest main network tower for Luttrell is WTNZ (Fox), 18 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WVLR is only 7.5 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.

  2. Point it toward 220° SW, the direction of WTNZ (Fox), 18 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
