How well antenna TV works around Shreveport
For the big networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS) that reach each home, an indoor antenna is likely enough for about 62% of people in the Shreveport market; about 38% need an attic or roof antenna. A typical home gets about 26 free channels from 12 stations, some from neighbouring markets.
Estimates from our terrain predictions for an antenna about 30 ft up, adjusted for indoor use. They are not yet checked against real channel scans; VHF channels never count as indoor. How we work it out

The best TV antenna for Shreveport
Get a UHF antenna. Across most of the area an indoor antenna is likely enough (about 62% of people, by our estimate); farther out, use an attic or roof antenna.
- Every channel reaches ordinary TVs on UHF, so a UHF antenna is enough.
- The towers are spread out, so a wide-beam (multi-directional) antenna is safer than a narrow directional one.
Not sure about VHF Lower frequencies (RF 2–13). Needs an antenna with longer elements; many flat indoor antennas are weak here. More in the glossary and UHF Higher frequencies (RF 14–36). Most stations are here; almost any antenna picks it up. More in the glossary ? See the glossary. Any brand of the right type will do.
