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

The farthest main network tower for Jacksonville is KLTV (ABC), 40 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.

KETK-TV is only 7.2 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 11 stations at fair strength or better, Jacksonville ranks 636th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 7.2 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
