Newberry is a town of about 10,300 people in South Carolina. There are 33 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 2 Class A, 13 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Newberry, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Columbia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbia's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 25 (WOLO-TV), CBS on channel 19 (WLTX), NBC on channel 26 (WAGT-CD), Fox on channel 57 (WACH), CW on channel 6.3 (WJBF), ION on channel 47 (WZRB) and Telemundo on channel 63.2 (WKTC). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Newberry are in different directions: ABC 102° ESE (50 mi), CBS 104° ESE (50 mi), NBC 192° SSW (61 mi) and Fox 102° ESE (50 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WACH, WKTC, WOLO-TV, WIS and WLTX, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles east of Newberry (102° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Newberry at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WAGT-CD (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Newberry. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Newberry is WAGT-CD (NBC), 61 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Newberry ranks 131st of 244 places in South Carolina: fewer than the typical South Carolina town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 39 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

22% of South Carolina's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Greenwood, 31 miles away.
