Which way to point your antenna in Cleburne

Point your antenna ENE, at about 58°. The main network towers for Cleburne sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KXTX-TV and KXAS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles northeast of Cleburne (55° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cleburne at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cleburne

The farthest main network tower for Cleburne is KXAS-TV (NBC), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KXXV (ABC), 70 miles south, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.
