KXAN-TV (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Gonzales. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Gonzales is KXAN-TV (NBC), 61 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Gonzales ranks 514th of 1,039 places in Texas: the same as the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 49 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
