Four network stations, WFLX, WPXP-TV, WPTV-TV and WPEC, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles southeast of Pahokee (123° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pahokee at fair strength or better, 46% 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 Pahokee, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Pahokee
The farthest main network tower for Pahokee is WPEC (CBS), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WLRN-TV (PBS), 65 miles southeast, 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.
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.
