11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles east of Belleair (100° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Belleair at fair strength or better, 92% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Belleair, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Belleair
The farthest main network tower for Belleair is WTVT (Fox), 35 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.
