TV channels & antenna towers in Midway, Florida

Midway is a town of about 3,280 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 30 licensed TV transmitters: 13 full-power, 2 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 9 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 14 farther out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Tallahassee, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tallahassee's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 27 (WTXL-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WCTV), NBC on channel 7 (WJHG-TV), Fox on channel 40.2 (WTWC-TV), PBS on channel 11 (WFSU-TV), CW on channel 24 (WTLF) and ION on channel 38.4 (WNXG-LD). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Midway are in different directions: ABC 67° ENE (31 mi), CBS 68° ENE (33 mi), Fox 66° ENE (31 mi) and PBS 225° SW (13 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WTXL-TV, WTLH, WTWC-TV, WTLF and WCTV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles northeast of Midway (67° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Midway at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Midway is WCTV (CBS), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJHG-TV (NBC), 57 miles west, 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.

WFSU-TV is only 13 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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Midway ranks 678th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 13 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

60% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Tallahassee, 11 miles away.
