Which way to point your antenna in La Grange

Point your antenna WNW, at about 298°. The main network towers for La Grange sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KTBC, KNVA, KXAN-TV, KEYE-TV and KVUE, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles northwest of La Grange (297° WNW). 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 La Grange at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KVUE (ABC), KEYE-TV (CBS), KXAN-TV (NBC) and KTBC (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from La Grange. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for La Grange

The farthest main network tower for La Grange is KEYE-TV (CBS), 62 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in La Grange: step by step

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 298° WNW, the direction of KEYE-TV (CBS), 62 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
