TV channels & antenna towers in Citrus Hills, Florida

Citrus Hills is a town of about 7,470 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 32 licensed TV transmitters: 6 full-power, 6 Class A, 18 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Two of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Ocala, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Ocala's stations.

The strongest network signals here are CBS on channel 6 (WKMG-LD), NBC on channel 28.3 (WGFL), Fox on channel 51 (WOGX), PBS on channel 5 (WUFT), CW on channel 20.2 (WCJB-TV) and Telemundo on channel 31 (WTMO-CD). No ABC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WFTS-TV in Tampa, FL, 73 miles to the south. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna N, at about 1°. The main network towers for Citrus Hills sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Citrus Hills at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

WGFL (NBC) and WUFT (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Citrus Hills. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Citrus Hills is WUFT (PBS), 57 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 9 stations at fair strength or better, Citrus Hills ranks 761st of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 33 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

17% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Ocala, 27 miles away.
