Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT and KDTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles east of Crowley (89° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Crowley at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Crowley, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Crowley
The farthest main network tower for Crowley is KTVT (CBS), 24 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.
