22 of them are within 25 miles of Orange Park, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 23 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Jacksonville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Jacksonville's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Orange Park

Point your antenna NE, at about 48°. The main network towers for Orange Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WFOX-TV, WJAX-TV, WJCT, WJEB-TV and WJXX and others, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles northeast of Orange Park (46° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Orange Park at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Orange Park

The farthest main network tower for Orange Park is WTLV (NBC), 12 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WUFT (PBS), 52 miles southwest, 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.

WFOX-TV 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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 51° NE, the direction of WTLV (NBC), 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 25 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.
