TV channels & antenna towers in Georgetown, Texas

With roughly 63,700 residents, Georgetown is a city in Texas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 9 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

18 of them are within 25 miles of Georgetown, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Austin, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Austin's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 24 (KVUE), CBS on channel 42 (KEYE-TV), NBC on channel 36 (KXAN-TV), Fox on channel 7 (KTBC), CW on channel 54 (KNVA), ION on channel 17.5 (KVAT-LD) and Univision on channel 62 (KAKW-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSW, at about 199°. The main network towers for Georgetown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV, KVUE and KTBC, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles south of Georgetown (199° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Georgetown at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Georgetown is KTBC (Fox), 23 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
