Over-the-air TV in Holland
With roughly 1,130 residents, Holland is a small community in Texas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 37 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 8 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 21 farther out. Six of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Austin, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Austin's stations.
The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 25 (KXXV), CBS on channel 42 (KEYE-TV), NBC on channel 36 (KXAN-TV), Fox on channel 44 (KWKT-TV), CW on channel 46 (KNCT), ION on channel 17.5 (KVAT-LD) and Univision on channel 62 (KAKW-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (fair signal). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.
Which way to point your antenna in Holland
The main network towers around Holland are in different directions: ABC 10° N (32 mi), NBC 212° SSW (45 mi) and Fox 8° N (30 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Five network stations, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV, KVUE and KTBC, transmit from the same tower site about 45 miles southwest of Holland (212° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Holland at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Holland, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Holland
The farthest main network tower for Holland is KXAN-TV (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KEYE-TV (CBS), 45 miles southwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
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.

- Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
- Point it toward 212° SSW, the direction of KXAN-TV (NBC), 45 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 13 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
