14 of them are within 25 miles of Jupiter, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 30 are more than 45 miles out. Ten of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Miami, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Miami's stations.

The main network towers around Jupiter are in different directions: ABC 305° NW (23 mi), CBS 196° SSW (25 mi), NBC 197° SSW (25 mi) and Fox 200° SSW (26 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WPEC, WPXP-TV, WPTV-TV and WFLX, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles south of Jupiter (196° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jupiter at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Jupiter is WFLX (Fox), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLRN-TV (PBS), 66 miles south, 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.

WTCE-TV is only 8.2 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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Jupiter ranks 604th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 8.2 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

60% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Port Saint Lucie, 29 miles away.
