3 of them are within 25 miles of Brownsville, 22 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 6 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 4 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 Brownsville are in different directions: ABC 84° E (32 mi), CBS 229° SW (43 mi) and Fox 34° NE (16 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

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

The farthest main network tower for Brownsville is WREG-TV (CBS), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WMC-TV (NBC), 46 miles southwest, 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.

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.
