Which way to point your antenna in Post

Point your antenna NW, at about 310°. The main network towers for Post sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KCBD, KXTQ-CD, KLCW-TV, KJTV-CD and KLBK-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles northwest of Post (307° NW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Post at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Post

The farthest main network tower for Post is KLBK-TV (CBS), 37 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
