4 of them are within 25 miles of Live Oak, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Tallahassee, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tallahassee's stations.

WGFL (NBC) and WUFT (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Live Oak. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Live Oak is WTWC-TV (Fox), 65 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Live Oak ranks 707th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 18 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
