The farthest main network tower for Garden Ridge is KENS (CBS), 25 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KVUE (ABC), 56 miles northeast and KXAN-TV (NBC), 57 miles northeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

KNIC-DT is only 13 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 33 stations at fair strength or better, Garden Ridge ranks 2nd of 1,039 places in Texas: more than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 24 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
