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

The farthest main network tower for Andrews is KWES-TV (NBC), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Andrews ranks 607th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 21 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
