6 of them are within 25 miles of Saint Pauls, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 34 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Wilmington, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Wilmington's stations.

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

The farthest main network tower for Saint Pauls is WFXB (Fox), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTVD (ABC), 64 miles north and WRAL-TV (NBC), 65 miles northeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WUNU is only 4.2 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 23 stations at fair strength or better, Saint Pauls ranks 87th of 465 places in North Carolina: more than the typical North Carolina town (19). Its nearest major network tower is 36 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
