Horseshoe Bay is a town of about 3,560 people in Texas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 9 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 22 between 25 and 45 miles, and 6 farther out. Six of the 7 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 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 (fair signal). 4 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 ESE, at about 114°. The main network towers for Horseshoe Bay sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KEYE-TV, KVUE, KNVA, KXAN-TV and KTBC, transmit from the same tower site about 37 miles southeast of Horseshoe Bay (114° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Horseshoe Bay at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Horseshoe Bay is KTBC (Fox), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KBVO is only 15 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 9 stations at fair strength or better, Horseshoe Bay ranks 706th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 26 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
