WFMY-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Fort Bragg. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Fort Bragg is WFMY-TV (CBS), 69 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 26 stations at fair strength or better, Fort Bragg ranks 14th of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 26 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
