Which way to point your antenna in Lytle

Point your antenna E, at about 84°. The main network towers for Lytle sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KABB, KENS, WOAI-TV, KWEX-DT and KSAT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles east of Lytle (83° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lytle at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lytle

The farthest main network tower for Lytle is KSAT-TV (ABC), 33 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.

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.
