Which way to point your antenna in Miami
Point your antenna NE, at about 42°. The main network towers for Miami sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KODE-TV and KSNF, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles northeast of Miami (52° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Miami at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Miami, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Miami
The farthest main network tower for Miami is KOAM-TV (CBS), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.
