Which way to point your antenna in Pleak

Point your antenna ENE, at about 73°. The main network towers for Pleak sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Ten network stations, KYAZ, KXLN-DT, KETH-TV, KTMD and KHOU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 19 miles east of Pleak (74° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pleak at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pleak

The farthest main network tower for Pleak is KRIV (Fox), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Pleak: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 73° ENE, the direction of KRIV (Fox), 20 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).
  4. Expect around 24 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
