Over-the-air TV in Quincy

Quincy, Florida has a population of about 7,830. Our map shows 34 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 14 full-power, 1 Class A and 19 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Quincy, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Tallahassee, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tallahassee's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 27 (WTXL-TV), CBS on channel 6 (WCTV), NBC on channel 7 (WJHG-TV), Fox on channel 40.2 (WTWC-TV), PBS on channel 11 (WFSU-TV), CW on channel 24 (WTLF) and ION on channel 38.4 (WNXG-LD). 2 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 Quincy

The main network towers around Quincy are in different directions: ABC 81° E (37 mi), CBS 81° E (39 mi), Fox 80° E (37 mi) and PBS 186° S (16 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WTLH, WTWC-TV, WTLF, WTXL-TV and WCTV, transmit from the same tower site about 37 miles east of Quincy (80° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Quincy at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Quincy

The farthest main network tower for Quincy is WCTV (CBS), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJHG-TV (NBC), 51 miles west, 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.
