Five network stations, WTAT-TV, WCIV, WCBD-TV, WGWG and WCSC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles east of Sangaree (105° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sangaree at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Sangaree

The farthest main network tower for Sangaree is WCSC-TV (CBS), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WLOW-LD is only 2.1 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.
