TV channels & antenna towers in Vamo, Florida

With roughly 4,730 residents, Vamo is a town in Florida. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 42 licensed TV transmitters: 21 full-power, 5 Class A, 15 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 29 farther out. Six of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 28 (WFTS-TV), CBS on channel 11 (WINK-TV), NBC on channel 20 (WBBH-TV), Fox on channel 36 (WFTX-TV), PBS on channel 30 (WGCU), CW on channel 46 (WXCW), ION on channel 66 (WXPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 49 (WRMD-CD), Univision on channel 50 (WVEA-TV) and MeTV on channel 32.2 (WMOR-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 4 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 Vamo are in different directions: ABC 19° NNE (45 mi), CBS 123° ESE (54 mi), NBC 121° ESE (53 mi), Fox 124° SE (52 mi) and PBS 122° ESE (53 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

11 network stations, WXPX-TV, WTSP, WVEA-TV, WMOR-TV and WTVT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles north of Vamo (19° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Vamo at fair strength or better, 65% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WGCU (PBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Vamo. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Vamo is WINK-TV (CBS), 54 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 22 stations at fair strength or better, Vamo ranks 419th of 786 places in Florida: fewer than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 25 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

17% of Florida's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Sarasota, 8.2 miles away.
