Englewood is a small community of about 1,530 people in Tennessee. There are 53 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 5 Class A, 13 low-power and 19 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.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Englewood, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 47 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Knoxville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Knoxville's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 6 (WATE-TV), CBS on channel 8 (WVLT-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WRCB), Fox on channel 43 (WTNZ), CW on channel 20 (WBXX-TV), ION on channel 54 (WPXK-TV) and Trinity on channel 23 (WELF-TV). 5 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 Englewood are in different directions: ABC 37° NE (50 mi), CBS 37° NE (49 mi), NBC 249° WSW (50 mi) and Fox 37° NE (49 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WTNZ, WVLT-TV, WATE-TV, WBIR-TV and WPXK-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles northeast of Englewood (37° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Englewood at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Englewood is WATE-TV (ABC), 50 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Englewood ranks 120th of 299 places in Tennessee: more than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 48 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

31% of Tennessee's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Cleveland, 29 miles away.
