TV channels & antenna towers in Centerville, South Carolina

Centerville, South Carolina has a population of about 6,590. Our map shows 44 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 11 full-power, 9 low-power and 24 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 16 between 25 and 45 miles, and 27 farther out. Two of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Greenville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Greenville's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 13 (WLOS), CBS on channel 7 (WSPA-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WYFF), Fox on channel 21 (WHNS), CW on channel 62 (WYCW) and MeTV on channel 32.1 (WGTA). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna N, at about 5°. The main network towers for Centerville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WYCW and WSPA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles northeast of Centerville (28° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Centerville at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Centerville is WHNS (Fox), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLOS (ABC), 62 miles north and WSPA-TV (CBS), 50 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.

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.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Centerville ranks 189th of 244 places in South Carolina: fewer than the typical South Carolina town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 38 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

59% of South Carolina's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Anderson, 3.6 miles away.
