Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 36 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Frostproof, 13 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 56 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 29 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

11 network stations, WTVT, WXPX-TV, WTSP, WVEA-TV and WMOR-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles west of Frostproof (277° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 24 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Frostproof at fair strength or better, 42% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WKMG-TV (CBS), WBBH-TV (NBC), WOFL (Fox) and WUCF-TV (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Frostproof. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Frostproof is WKMG-TV (CBS), 66 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 36 stations at fair strength or better, Frostproof ranks 68th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 44 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 Winter Haven, 23 miles away.
