TV channels & antenna towers in Chipley, Florida

Chipley is a town of about 3,570 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 2 Class A and 20 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

2 of them are within 25 miles of Chipley, 25 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 6 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Panama City, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Panama City's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 18 (WDHN), CBS on channel 21 (WECP-LD), NBC on channel 7 (WJHG-TV), Fox on channel 34 (WDFX-TV), PBS on channel 56 (WFSG) and CW on channel 4.3 (WTVY). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Chipley are in different directions: ABC 23° NNE (34 mi), NBC 163° SSE (31 mi), Fox 351° N (30 mi) and PBS 219° SW (37 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WMBB and WJHG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles south of Chipley (163° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Chipley at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Chipley is WFSG (PBS), 37 miles away with a fair 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Chipley ranks 748th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

60% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Dothan, 32 miles away.
