TV channels & antenna towers in Caldwell, Texas

With roughly 4,280 residents, Caldwell is a town in Texas. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 14 full-power, 8 Class A and 18 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Six of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Austin, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Austin's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 25 (KXXV), CBS on channel 42 (KEYE-TV), NBC on channel 36 (KXAN-TV), Fox on channel 28.2 (KYLE-TV), CW on channel 3.2 (KBTX-TV) and ION on channel 17.5 (KVAT-LD). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Caldwell are in different directions: ABC 327° NNW (67 mi), CBS 258° WSW (68 mi), NBC 258° WSW (67 mi) and Fox 56° NE (19 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, KTBC, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV and KVUE, transmit from the same tower site about 67 miles west of Caldwell (257° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Caldwell at fair strength or better, 42% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

KEYE-TV (CBS) and KXAN-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Caldwell. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Caldwell is KEYE-TV (CBS), 68 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Caldwell ranks 451st of 1,039 places in Texas: more than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.

32% of Texas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Bryan, 22 miles away.
