By distance, 13 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 33 farther out. Ten of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Miami, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Miami's stations.

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

The farthest main network tower for Palm Beach Gardens is WPBF (ABC), 26 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLRN-TV (PBS), 58 miles south, 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.

WTCE-TV is only 14 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.

With 31 stations at fair strength or better, Palm Beach Gardens ranks 168th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 14 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
