            Atlanta's Digital TV Channels

Atlanta is second in the nation for the number of digital stations available

What Channels Can You Receive With An Antenna?


Below is a list of the 80+ FREE Digital TV channels that can possibly be received in the Atlanta, GA area with an Over-The-Air antenna of the proper size. Because digital TV doesn't use as much bandwidth as the old analog TV, each station can provide more channels (sub-channels) per frequency, thus the dot or dash numbers .2 .3 .4 etc. channel numbers.  The primary channel will always be the .1.  2.1 is ABC WSB channel 2 as you know it from cable, satellite and analog TV.  Some stations are low power and for a specific area like KTN Korean 47.1, is in Norcross and its signal doesn't go very far.  WANN is low power but shares a very high major tower.  It holds its own with the high power stations. Most of the major Atlanta stations are at 1 million watts power and have a strong signal around the Atlanta area.  Sub-channels allow for more content & advertising to be provided to viewers.
 

Some of the digital stations are upgrading and changing things around regularly. Some will add new channels, move channels, and change channels so you have to RE-SCAN your TV or Digital Box on a monthly basis or you will not see the new channels or changes.  For example, during the summer or winter Olympics years, the station carrying them will add several sub-channels for the events, if you don't re-scan you won't see the new sub-channels.

Most all of the stations are transmitted using the Uhf band.  Two stations use the Vhf band.  The UHF band is a high frequency that has a shorter range than the VHF band.  That is why it can be tricky to receive digital TV in the Atlanta area with its hills, buildings & trees.  UHF frequencies are affected by trees, buildings, even strong winds.  They kind of act like light beams traveling straight, but can be reflected in a different direction.
 

Many people who used to have an antenna on their home had the old style log periodic type all band VHF/Uhf/FM antenna with the long rods in the back and short rods in the front which, will work with digital TV, it just will not perform as well as the newer designed Uhf  broad lobe antennas we use  that are far better designed for the Atlanta reception area. 
 

Unlike Analog TV where you could watch a weak snowy picture with good sound,  with Digital TV you will either have a perfect watchable picture or an unwatchable picture that pixalates with the sound cutting in & out. We always use a higher gain antenna than is necessary for the strongest trouble-free reception available. 
 

The main Atlanta network stations you know are highlighted in Red.  Some channels may broadcast intermittently.  New channels can be added at any time.  Some channels are Low Power stations and their signal may not travel as far as the Major High Power stations.  WANN and WTBS are duplicating some channels as they grow and adding new channels.
