Davenport, Florida has a population of about 3,530. There are 64 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 30 full-power, 14 Class A, 18 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 34 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 20 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Davenport, 20 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 41 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 9 (WFTV), CBS on channel 6 (WKMG-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WESH), Fox on channel 35 (WOFL), PBS on channel 24 (WUCF-TV), CW on channel 18 (WKCF), ION on channel 56 (WOPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 31 (WTMO-CD), Univision on channel 43 (WVEN-TV), MeTV on channel 32.2 (WMOR-TV) and Trinity on channel 52 (WHLV-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (good signal). 10 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 NE, at about 47°. The main network towers for Davenport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Eight network stations, WVEN-TV, WHLV-TV, WKCF, WUCF-TV and WFTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles northeast of Davenport (47° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 20 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Davenport at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Davenport is WOFL (Fox), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKMG-TV (CBS), 45 miles northeast and WESH (NBC), 45 miles northeast, 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.

With 34 stations at fair strength or better, Davenport ranks 130th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 32 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
