TV channels & antenna towers in Denmark, Maine

With roughly 1,040 residents, Denmark is a small community in Maine. Our map shows 18 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 13 full-power, 3 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 7 farther out. Three of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 8 (WMTW), NBC on channel 6 (WCSH), Fox on channel 13.2 (WGME-TV), CW on channel 51 (WPXT) and ION on channel 35 (WIPL). No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WCAX-TV in Burlington, VT, 107 miles to the west. 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Denmark are in different directions: ABC 166° SSE (8.9 mi), NBC 149° SSE (9.0 mi) and Fox 101° ESE (16 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WIPL, WPXT and WMTW, transmit from the same tower site about 8.9 miles south of Denmark (166° SSE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Denmark at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Denmark is WGME-TV (Fox), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPXT is only 8.9 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.

With 10 stations at fair strength or better, Denmark ranks 62nd of 256 places in Maine: more than the typical Maine town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 8.9 miles away, against a state median of 28 miles.

6% of Maine's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Auburn, 30 miles away.
