14 of them are within 25 miles of Mascot, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 30 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Knoxville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Knoxville's stations.

The best-placed network stations 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). 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 WSW, at about 250°. The main network towers for Mascot sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WBIR-TV, WPXK-TV, WATE-TV, WTNZ and WVLT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles west of Mascot (250° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mascot at fair strength or better, all arrive from the west, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Mascot is WTNZ (Fox), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPXK-TV 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Mascot ranks 141st of 299 places in Tennessee: the same as the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
