Which way to point your antenna in Azle
Point your antenna ESE, at about 123°. The main network towers for Azle sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT and KDTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southeast of Azle (123° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Azle at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Azle, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Azle
The farthest main network tower for Azle is KTVT (CBS), 42 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.
