By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 34 farther out. Eight of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Nashville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Nashville's stations.

WZDX (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Mount Pleasant. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Mount Pleasant is WAFF (NBC), 68 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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, Mount Pleasant ranks 120th of 299 places in Tennessee: more than the typical Tennessee town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 37 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 Columbia, 11 miles away.
