Point your antenna SW, at about 215°. The main network towers for Geronimo sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Seven network stations, KVDA, KHCE-TV, KABB, KWEX-DT and KSAT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles southwest of Geronimo (215° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Geronimo at fair strength or better, 54% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Geronimo, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Geronimo
The farthest main network tower for Geronimo is KENS (CBS), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KVUE (ABC), 47 miles north and KXAN-TV (NBC), 47 miles north, 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.
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.
