Belgium, Wisconsin has a population of about 2,260. Our map shows 30 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 20 full-power, 2 Class A, 7 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Belgium, 20 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 10 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Milwaukee, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Milwaukee's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 12 (WISN-TV), CBS on channel 58 (WDJT-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WTMJ-TV), Fox on channel 6 (WITI), CW on channel 18 (WVTV), ION on channel 55 (WPXE-TV), Telemundo on channel 31.6 (WMEI), MeTV on channel 41.1 (WBME-CD) and Trinity on channel 52 (WWRS-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Belgium

Point your antenna S, at about 187°. The main network towers for Belgium sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WISN-TV, WBME-CD, WDJT-TV, WVTV and WTMJ-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles south of Belgium (188° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Belgium at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Belgium

The farthest main network tower for Belgium is WITI (Fox), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Belgium: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 185° S, the direction of WITI (Fox), 28 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 23 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
