13 of them are within 25 miles of Kathleen, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 28 (WFTS-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WKMG-TV), NBC on channel 8 (WFLA-TV), Fox on channel 13 (WTVT), PBS on channel 3.1 (WEDU), CW on channel 18 (WKCF), ION on channel 66 (WXPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 49 (WRMD-CD), Univision on channel 50 (WVEA-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 (strong signal). 10 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SW, at about 216°. The main network towers for Kathleen sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 24 miles southwest of Kathleen (218° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 21 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kathleen at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Kathleen is WTVT (Fox), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKMG-TV (CBS), 68 miles northeast, 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.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 40 stations at fair strength or better, Kathleen ranks 1st 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.
