Which way to point your antenna in Mount Pleasant

Five network stations, KTBS-TV, KPXJ, KSLA, KMSS-TV and KSHV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles southeast of Mount Pleasant (118° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mount Pleasant at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mount Pleasant

The farthest main network tower for Mount Pleasant is KMSS-TV (Fox), 69 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.
