Over-the-air TV in Keystone

Keystone is a town of about 24,000 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 6 Class A, 12 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 24 between 25 and 45 miles, and 3 farther out. Six of the 12 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 10 (WTSP), NBC on channel 8 (WFLA-TV), Fox on channel 13 (WTVT), PBS on channel 3.1 (WEDU), CW on channel 38 (WTTA), ION on channel 66 (WXPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 49 (WRMD-CD), Univision on channel 50 (WVEA-TV) and MeTV on channel 32.2 (WMOR-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (good signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Keystone

Point your antenna SE, at about 135°. The main network towers for Keystone 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 30 miles southeast of Keystone (134° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Keystone at fair strength or better, 92% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Keystone

The farthest main network tower for Keystone is WTVT (Fox), 33 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Keystone: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 135° SE, the direction of WTVT (Fox), 33 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 25 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.
