Which way to point your antenna in Florence
Point your antenna ENE, at about 76°. The main network towers for Florence sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KMCB and KCBY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles south of Florence (182° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Florence at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Florence, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Florence
The farthest main network tower for Florence is KLSR-TV (Fox), 49 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Florence: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 88° E, the direction of KLSR-TV (Fox), 49 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 12 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
