0 of them are within 25 miles of Gail, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Lubbock, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Lubbock's stations.

The main network towers around Gail are in different directions: ABC 335° NNW (58 mi), CBS 335° NNW (58 mi), NBC 334° NNW (56 mi) and Fox 227° SW (68 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, KCBD, KXTQ-CD, KLCW-TV, KJTV-CD and KLBK-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 56 miles northwest of Gail (334° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gail at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

KAMC (ABC), KLBK-TV (CBS), KCBD (NBC) and KPEJ-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Gail. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Gail is KPEJ-TV (Fox), 68 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 5 stations at fair strength or better, Gail ranks 855th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 56 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 Big Spring, 36 miles away.
