By distance, 11 transmitters are within 25 miles, 37 between 25 and 45 miles, and 21 farther out. Two of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Greenville, SC, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Greenville's stations.

The main network towers around Brevard are in different directions: ABC 355° N (13 mi), CBS 100° E (25 mi), NBC 139° SE (11 mi) and Fox 140° SE (4.6 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WYCW and WSPA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles east of Brevard (100° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brevard at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Brevard is WSPA-TV (CBS), 25 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WHNS is only 4.6 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 21 stations at fair strength or better, Brevard ranks 142nd of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 4.6 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
