Which way to point your antenna in Springtown

Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT and KDTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles southeast of Springtown (123° ESE). 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 Springtown at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Springtown

The farthest main network tower for Springtown is KTVT (CBS), 51 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.
