TV channels & antenna towers in Groveland, Florida

Groveland is a town of about 11,500 people in Florida. There are 63 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 30 full-power, 12 Class A, 19 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 35 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 19 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 51 farther out. Six of the 23 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.

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 55 miles southwest of Groveland (207° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 20 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Groveland at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Groveland is WFTV (ABC), 48 miles away with a good 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 35 stations at fair strength or better, Groveland ranks 107th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 24 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 Clermont, 4.8 miles away.
