TV channels & antenna towers in Piedmont, South Carolina

Piedmont is a town of about 5,100 people in South Carolina. There are 46 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 11 full-power, 7 low-power and 28 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Piedmont, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles 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 353°. The main network towers for Piedmont 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 34 miles north of Piedmont (17° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Piedmont at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Piedmont is WHNS (Fox), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLOS (ABC), 53 miles north, 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 12 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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Piedmont ranks 90th of 244 places in South Carolina: more than the typical South Carolina town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 29 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 Mauldin, 10 miles away.
