TV channels & antenna towers in Eden, North Carolina

Eden is a city of about 15,400 people in North Carolina. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 30 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 2 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 17 farther out. Four of the 12 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 Eden are in different directions: ABC 184° S (43 mi), CBS 185° S (43 mi) and NBC 257° WSW (35 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 43 miles south of Eden (185° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Eden at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Eden 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), 47 miles south, 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 20 stations at fair strength or better, Eden ranks 179th of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 35 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 Danville, 22 miles away.
