WFTV (ABC) and WKMG-TV (CBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Silver Springs Shores. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Silver Springs Shores is WFTV (ABC), 69 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 25 stations at fair strength or better, Silver Springs Shores ranks 347th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
