Within 70 miles of the town center we count 37 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 2 Class A, 16 low-power and 1 translator.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 8 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 SW, at about 229°. The main network towers for Josephine sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KAZD, KUVN-DT, KDTX-TV, KPXD-TV and KXTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles southwest of Josephine (230° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Josephine at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Josephine is KTVT (CBS), 52 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 21 stations at fair strength or better, Josephine ranks 288th of 1,039 places in Texas: more than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 50 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.

32% of Texas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Greenville, 13 miles away.
