10 of them are within 25 miles of Fountain Inn, 10 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 17 are more than 45 miles out. Two of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Asheville, NC, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Asheville's stations.

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

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

WLOS (ABC), 60 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

WMYA-TV is only 5.1 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.
