Four network stations, WMYT-TV, WJZY, WCNC-TV and WBTV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles northwest of Lake Park (303° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lake Park at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lake Park is WBTV (CBS), 37 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WSOC-TV is only 13 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, Lake Park ranks 142nd of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 13 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
