Which way to point your antenna in Pine Level

Point your antenna SSW, at about 211°. The main network towers for Pine Level sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WAKA and WNCF, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles southwest of Pine Level (211° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pine Level at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Pine Level, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pine Level

The farthest main network tower for Pine Level is WAKA (CBS), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WSFA (NBC), 46 miles southeast and WCOV-TV (Fox), 46 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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.
