Which way to point your antenna in Munford

Point your antenna S, at about 182°. The main network towers for Munford sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WATN-TV, WBUY-TV and WLMT, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles south of Munford (170° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Munford at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Munford

The farthest main network tower for Munford is WMC-TV (NBC), 20 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.

WATN-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.

  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
