Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 35 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 18 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 32 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 6 farther out. Ten of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Miami, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Miami's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Sunset
Point your antenna NNE, at about 25°. The main network towers for Sunset sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Nine network stations, WPXM-TV, WBFS-TV, WFOR-TV, WLTV-DT and WTVJ and others, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles northeast of Sunset (27° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sunset at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Sunset, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Sunset
The farthest main network tower for Sunset is WLRN-TV (PBS), 21 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WFLX (Fox), 60 miles north, 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 Sunset: step by step
- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
- Point it toward 27° NNE, the direction of WLRN-TV (PBS), 21 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
