Default Ocala Transmitters

Here is another option for pointing your antennas especially if you are in the northern villages. Ocala has three translators or re-transmission towers. All three are easily receivable if you point the antenna toward Ocala. They are only 20-30 miles away. Fox 35 from Orlando transmits on channel 51. The programming is almost the same. WESH and WKMG (NBC and CBS) have translator towers which are received with no problem. For ABC the Gainsville station on 20.1 comes in fine as well as their PBS station. Orlando is 60 miles away from me and this made it easy. I don't get the religious or Spanish channels but not interested. Give this option a try.
