TV channels & antenna towers in Mayo, Florida

Mayo is a small community of about 1,240 people in Florida. There are 33 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 11 full-power, 3 Class A and 19 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Mayo, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 27 (WTXL-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WCTV), NBC on channel 28.3 (WGFL), Fox on channel 40.2 (WTWC-TV), PBS on channel 5 (WUFT), CW on channel 24 (WTLF) and MeTV on channel 57.2 (WFXU). 1 full-power station in range has no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Mayo are in different directions: ABC 312° NW (64 mi), CBS 313° NW (62 mi), NBC 129° SE (46 mi), Fox 313° NW (64 mi) and PBS 117° ESE (52 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WCTV, WTXL-TV, WTLH, WTWC-TV and WTLF, transmit from the same tower site about 62 miles northwest of Mayo (313° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mayo at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WUFT (PBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Mayo. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Mayo is WTWC-TV (Fox), 64 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Mayo ranks 748th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 36 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

17% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna.
