Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 0 transmitters are within 25 miles, 17 between 25 and 45 miles, and 41 farther out. Ten of the 24 network stations in range are licensed to Miami, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Miami's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 25 (WPBF), CBS on channel 12 (WPEC), NBC on channel 5 (WPTV-TV), Fox on channel 29 (WFLX), PBS on channel 17 (WLRN-TV), CW on channel 34 (WTVX), ION on channel 67 (WPXP-TV), Telemundo on channel 51 (WSCV), Univision on channel 23 (WLTV-DT), MeTV on channel 10.2 (WPLG) and Trinity on channel 21 (WTCE-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (weak signal). 8 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 Pahokee

The main network towers around Pahokee are in different directions: ABC 39° NE (27 mi), CBS 119° ESE (32 mi), NBC 120° ESE (32 mi) and Fox 123° ESE (31 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Pahokee: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 119° ESE, the direction of WPEC (CBS), 32 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 19 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.
