Which way to point your antenna in Florida

Point your antenna ESE, at about 117°. The main network towers for Florida sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Florida

The farthest main network tower for Florida is WKAQ-TV (NBC), 38 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.

WTIN-TV is only 14 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.

Setting up an antenna in Florida: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 117° ESE, the direction of WKAQ-TV (NBC), 38 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 36 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
