Over-the-air TV in New Hope

New Hope, Tennessee has a population of about 1,070. Our map shows 29 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 13 full-power, 7 Class A and 9 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

7 of them are within 25 miles of New Hope, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles 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.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WTVC), CBS on channel 12 (WDEF-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WRCB), Fox on channel 54 (WZDX), CW on channel 53 (WFLI-TV), Telemundo on channel 29 (WTHV-LD) and Trinity on channel 23 (WELF-TV). 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.

Which way to point your antenna in New Hope

Point your antenna ENE, at about 62°. The main network towers for New Hope sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WDEF-TV, WTVC, WFLI-TV and WRCB, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles northeast of New Hope (65° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach New Hope at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for New Hope

The farthest main network tower for New Hope is WRCB (NBC), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WZDX (Fox), 53 miles west, 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.
