TV channels & antenna towers in Statesboro, Georgia

With roughly 30,700 residents, Statesboro is a city in Georgia. Our map shows 30 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 12 full-power, 2 Class A, 15 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 8 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 18 farther out. Five of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Augusta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Augusta's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 22 (WJCL), CBS on channel 11 (WTOC-TV), NBC on channel 26 (WAGT-CD), Fox on channel 28 (WTGS), CW on channel 3.2 (WSAV-TV) and Telemundo on channel 17 (WGAT-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 5 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 SE, at about 137°. The main network towers for Statesboro sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WTOC-TV, WJCL and WTGS, transmit from the same tower site about 37 miles southeast of Statesboro (137° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Statesboro at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Statesboro is WTGS (Fox), 38 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WAGT-CD (NBC), 66 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 8 stations at fair strength or better, Statesboro ranks 320th of 386 places in Georgia: fewer than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 37 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
