Point your antenna WNW, at about 299°. The main network towers for Bellview sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WSRE, WMPV-TV and WEAR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles northwest of Bellview (301° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bellview at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Bellview is WKRG-TV (CBS), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic 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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Bellview ranks 490th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
