TV channels & antenna towers in West Melbourne, Florida

West Melbourne, Florida has a population of about 20,700. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 17 full-power, 7 Class A, 14 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 23 between 25 and 45 miles, and 13 farther out. Five of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Orlando, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Orlando's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 9 (WFTV), CBS on channel 6 (WKMG-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WESH), Fox on channel 35 (WOFL), PBS on channel 24 (WUCF-TV), CW on channel 18 (WKCF), ION on channel 56 (WOPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 31 (WTMO-CD), Univision on channel 43 (WVEN-TV) and Trinity on channel 52 (WHLV-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Four network stations, WFTV, WVEN-TV, WHLV-TV and WKCF, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles northwest of West Melbourne (325° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach West Melbourne at fair strength or better, 82% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for West Melbourne is WESH (NBC), 45 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WOFL (Fox), 45 miles northwest and WUCF-TV (PBS), 45 miles northwest, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WSCF-LD is only 2.2 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.
