Which way to point your antenna in Seymour
Point your antenna ESE, at about 119°. The main network towers for Seymour sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Three network stations, WBAY-TV, WLUK-TV and WCWF, transmit from the same tower site about 18 miles southeast of Seymour (114° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Seymour at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Seymour, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Seymour
The farthest main network tower for Seymour is WFRV-TV (CBS), 21 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor 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.

- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
