Which way to point your antenna in Miami Springs

Point your antenna NNE, at about 25°. The main network towers for Miami Springs sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WPXM-TV, WBFS-TV, WFOR-TV, WLTV-DT and WTVJ and others, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles northeast of Miami Springs (27° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Miami Springs at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Miami Springs

The farthest main network tower for Miami Springs is WLRN-TV (PBS), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WFLX (Fox), 52 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

WURH-LD is only 11 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.

  2. Point it toward 28° NNE, the direction of WLRN-TV (PBS), 12 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 38 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.
