13 of them are within 25 miles of Riviera Beach, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 34 are more than 45 miles 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 Riviera Beach, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Riviera Beach is WPBF (ABC), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLRN-TV (PBS), 56 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.

WBWP-LD is only 2.0 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 30 stations at fair strength or better, Riviera Beach ranks 185th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 16 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
