1 of them is within 25 miles of Laurel, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 39 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

11 network stations, WXPX-TV, WTSP, WVEA-TV, WMOR-TV and WTVT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 48 miles north of Laurel (15° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Laurel at fair strength or better, 65% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Laurel is WINK-TV (CBS), 49 miles away with a good 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 22 stations at fair strength or better, Laurel ranks 419th 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.
