Two network stations, KZTV and KORO, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles east of Alice (96° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Alice at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Alice, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Alice
The farthest main network tower for Alice is KIII (ABC), 29 miles away with a good 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.
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.
