Five network stations, KEYE-TV, KVUE, KNVA, KXAN-TV and KTBC, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles southeast of Kingsland (121° 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 Kingsland at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Kingsland
The farthest main network tower for Kingsland is KXAN-TV (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KTBC (Fox), 45 miles southeast, 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.
KBVO is only 7.6 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.
