By distance, 13 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 35 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.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach West Palm Beach at fair strength or better, 59% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for West Palm Beach is WPBF (ABC), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLRN-TV (PBS), 52 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.

WPXP-TV is only 13 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 29 stations at fair strength or better, West Palm Beach ranks 214th of 786 places in Florida: more than the typical Florida town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 13 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.
