Which way to point your antenna in Midway

Point your antenna SE, at about 144°. The main network towers for Midway sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WUCF-TV, WOFL, WESH, WKMG-TV and WVEN-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles southeast of Midway (147° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Midway at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two 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.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Midway

The farthest main network tower for Midway is WFTV (ABC), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
