TV channels & antenna towers in Midway, Florida

Midway, Florida has a population of about 16,100. There are 27 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 2 Class A and 9 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 12 between 25 and 45 miles, and 10 farther out. Four of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Mobile, AL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Mobile's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 3 (WEAR-TV), CBS on channel 5 (WKRG-TV), Fox on channel 10 (WALA-TV), PBS on channel 23 (WSRE), CW on channel 55 (WFNA), Telemundo on channel 31 (WMBP-LD) and Trinity on channel 21 (WMPV-TV). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WJHG-TV in Panama City, FL, 96 miles to the east. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 9 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna WNW, at about 291°. The main network towers for Midway sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WSRE, WMPV-TV and WEAR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles west of Midway (292° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Midway at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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 WEAR-TV (ABC), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKRG-TV (CBS), 53 miles west and WALA-TV (Fox), 51 miles northwest, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

With 18 stations at fair strength or better, Midway ranks 545th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 39 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 East Pensacola Heights, 11 miles away.
