TV channels & antenna towers in Lakewood Park, Florida

Lakewood Park is a town of about 11,300 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 5 Class A, 12 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 11 farther out. Three of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to West Palm Beach, so most of the network channels you will find here come from West Palm Beach's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 25 (WPBF), CBS on channel 12 (WPEC), NBC on channel 5 (WPTV-TV), Fox on channel 29 (WFLX), CW on channel 34 (WTVX), ION on channel 56 (WOPX-TV) and Trinity on channel 21 (WTCE-TV). 2 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 S, at about 173°. The main network towers for Lakewood Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WTVX and WPBF, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles south of Lakewood Park (178° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lakewood Park at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WPEC (CBS), WPTV-TV (NBC) and WFLX (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Lakewood Park. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Lakewood Park is WFLX (Fox), 68 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

W31DC-D is only 2.1 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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Lakewood Park ranks 707th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 29 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 Vero Beach South, 5.1 miles away.
