Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Nokomis, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 39 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Nokomis

Point your antenna ESE, at about 117°. The main network towers for Nokomis sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WXPX-TV, WTSP, WVEA-TV, WMOR-TV and WTVT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles north of Nokomis (13° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Nokomis at fair strength or better, 65% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Nokomis

The farthest main network tower for Nokomis is WINK-TV (CBS), 47 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Nokomis: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 117° ESE, the direction of WINK-TV (CBS), 47 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 22 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
