TV channels & antenna towers in Danbury, North Carolina

Danbury is a small community of about 187 people in North Carolina. There are 26 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 8 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

5 of them are within 25 miles of Danbury, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 14 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Roanoke, VA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Roanoke's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 45 (WXLV-TV), CBS on channel 2 (WFMY-TV), NBC on channel 12 (WXII-TV), Fox on channel 8 (WGHP), CW on channel 20 (WCWG) and ION on channel 38 (WPXR-TV). 6 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 Danbury are in different directions: ABC 150° SSE (43 mi), CBS 151° SSE (42 mi) and NBC 256° WSW (9.6 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WGPX-TV, WFMY-TV and WXLV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles southeast of Danbury (151° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Danbury 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 Danbury, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Danbury is WXLV-TV (ABC), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WGHP (Fox), 46 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.

WLXI is only 9.5 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Danbury ranks 328th of 465 places in North Carolina: fewer than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 9.6 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

57% of North Carolina's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Kernersville, 21 miles away.
