Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Timberlake at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Timberlake is WCAV (Fox), 63 miles away with a weak 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Timberlake ranks 295th of 381 places in Virginia: fewer than the typical Virginia town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 21 miles away, against a state median of 21 miles.
