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

The farthest main network tower for Springdale is WLTX (CBS), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WCNC-TV (NBC), 50 miles northwest and WJZY (Fox), 51 miles northwest, 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 17 stations at fair strength or better, Springdale ranks 63rd of 244 places in South Carolina: more than the typical South Carolina town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 39 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
