Two network stations, WSAV-TV and WJCL, transmit from the same tower site about 4.9 miles southwest of Pooler (218° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pooler at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pooler

The farthest main network tower for Pooler is WTOC-TV (CBS), 7.4 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WSAV-TV is only 4.9 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.
