Point your antenna ENE, at about 67°. The main network towers for Kempner sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KWKT-TV, KNCT, KWTX-TV and KXXV, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles east of Kempner (68° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kempner at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Kempner is KXXV (ABC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KEYE-TV (CBS), 54 miles south and KXAN-TV (NBC), 54 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Kempner ranks 514th of 1,039 places in Texas: the same as the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 25 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
