TV channels & antenna towers in Tequesta, Florida

Tequesta is a town of about 5,630 people in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 48 licensed TV transmitters: 24 full-power, 5 Class A, 17 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 29 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.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 25 (WPBF), CBS on channel 12 (WPEC), NBC on channel 5 (WPTV-TV), Fox on channel 29 (WFLX), PBS on channel 17 (WLRN-TV), CW on channel 34 (WTVX), ION on channel 67 (WPXP-TV), Telemundo on channel 51 (WSCV), Univision on channel 23 (WLTV-DT), MeTV on channel 10.2 (WPLG) and Trinity on channel 21 (WTCE-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Tequesta are in different directions: ABC 303° WNW (20 mi), CBS 191° S (27 mi), NBC 191° S (27 mi) and Fox 194° SSW (28 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WPEC, WPXP-TV, WPTV-TV and WFLX, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles south of Tequesta (191° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Tequesta at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Tequesta is WFLX (Fox), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLRN-TV (PBS), 68 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 5.0 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Tequesta ranks 604th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 5.0 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

60% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Jupiter, 3.2 miles away.
