Which way to point your antenna in Bartonville

Point your antenna SSE, at about 165°. The main network towers for Bartonville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT, KDTX-TV, KDFW and WFAA and others, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles south of Bartonville (165° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bartonville at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Bartonville

The farthest main network tower for Bartonville is KTVT (CBS), 38 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
