What Television Station Is in My Area?
Use this program to check for available DTV signals at your location. Enter your address to view a DTV coverage map listing all stations in your area. Stations sometimes change their broadcast frequency. While the channel number remains the same, the frequency your television uses to find it might change. This requires viewers with over-the-air antennas to rescan their tuners.
Viewers can contact local stations with questions. Each station’s public inspection file link provides contact information. For more information on antennas, consult the Antenna Guide. Signal strength calculations assume an outdoor antenna 30 feet above ground level. Actual reception may vary for indoor antenna users.
DTV Reception Map provides helpful tips for searching: include the state when searching by city, and include the city and state when searching by street address. Exclude terms like “PO Box,” “Mailbox,” or “APT #” in your address search. Avoid special characters like @, #, $, %, and *. You can also drag the red marker on the map to change the search results based on new coordinates.
These signal predictions use a terrain-sensitive propagation model similar to the one used for calculating service and interference for licensed broadcast stations. Actual signal strength can vary due to factors like building construction, nearby trees, weather, and reception hardware. Signal strength may be significantly lower in hilly areas.
