Which way to point your antenna in Weatherford

Point your antenna ESE, at about 105°. The main network towers for Weatherford sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, KDFW, WFAA, KPXD-TV, KUVN-DT and KDTX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles east of Weatherford (104° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Weatherford 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 Weatherford, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Weatherford

The farthest main network tower for Weatherford is KTVT (CBS), 51 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
