Seven network stations, KVDA, KHCE-TV, KABB, KWEX-DT and KSAT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles south of Northcliff (185° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

The farthest main network tower for Northcliff is KENS (CBS), 24 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

KVUE (ABC), 55 miles northeast and KXAN-TV (NBC), 55 miles northeast, 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 32 stations at fair strength or better, Northcliff ranks 11th of 1,039 places in Texas: more than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
