TV channels & antenna towers in Jasper, Florida

Jasper is a town of about 4,160 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 3 Class A and 21 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Three of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Tallahassee, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tallahassee's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 27 (WTXL-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WCTV), NBC on channel 28.3 (WGFL), Fox on channel 40.2 (WTWC-TV), PBS on channel 5 (WUFT), CW on channel 24 (WTLF) and MeTV on channel 57.2 (WFXU). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Jasper are in different directions: ABC 280° W (62 mi), CBS 280° W (60 mi), NBC 160° SSE (65 mi), Fox 281° W (62 mi) and PBS 149° SSE (65 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WCTV, WTXL-TV, WTLH, WTWC-TV and WTLF, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles west of Jasper (280° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jasper at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Jasper is WGFL (NBC), 65 miles away with a weak 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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Jasper ranks 719th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 4.4 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 Valdosta, 29 miles away.
