Which way to point your antenna in Gladeview

Point your antenna N, at about 9°. The main network towers for Gladeview sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WPXM-TV, WPLG, WSVN, WBFS-TV and WFOR-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 8.4 miles north of Gladeview (10° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gladeview at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Gladeview

The farthest main network tower for Gladeview is WLRN-TV (PBS), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WFLX (Fox), 51 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

WURH-LD is only 8.4 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 14° NNE, the direction of WLRN-TV (PBS), 10 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 38 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
