With roughly 15,000 residents, Three Lakes is a town in Florida. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 21 full-power, 3 Class A, 13 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 18 at good or strong strength.

11 of them are within 25 miles of Three Lakes, 22 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 7 are more than 45 miles 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.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7.2 (WSVN), CBS on channel 4 (WFOR-TV), NBC on channel 6 (WTVJ), Fox on channel 29 (WFLX), PBS on channel 17 (WLRN-TV), CW on channel 33 (WBFS-TV), ION on channel 35 (WPXM-TV), Telemundo on channel 51 (WSCV), Univision on channel 23 (WLTV-DT), MeTV on channel 10.2 (WPLG) and Trinity on channel 45 (WHFT-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (strong signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NNE, at about 27°. The main network towers for Three Lakes 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 25 miles northeast of Three Lakes (28° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Three Lakes 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 Three Lakes, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Three Lakes is WLRN-TV (PBS), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WFLX (Fox), 65 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.

With 30 stations at fair strength or better, Three Lakes ranks 185th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 25 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 Richmond West, 2.9 miles away.
