The farthest main network tower for Brownsville is KTVE (NBC), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNTZ-TV (Fox), 63 miles southeast, 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.
