Coolidge, Arizona has a population of about 12,300. Our map shows 50 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 20 full-power, 6 Class A, 18 low-power and 6 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 26 between 25 and 45 miles, and 23 farther out. Eight of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Phoenix, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Phoenix's stations.
The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 15 (KNXV-TV), CBS on channel 5 (KPHO-TV), NBC on channel 12 (KPNX), Fox on channel 11 (KMSB), PBS on channel 8 (KAET), CW on channel 18 (KTTU), ION on channel 51 (KPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 39 (KTAZ), Univision on channel 33 (KTVW-DT) and Trinity on channel 21 (KPAZ-TV).

Which way to point your antenna in Coolidge
Point your antenna NW, at about 308°. The main network towers for Coolidge sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Ten network stations, KPPX-TV, KNXV-TV, KTAZ, KPHO-TV and KAZT-CD and others, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles northwest of Coolidge (308° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Coolidge at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Coolidge, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Coolidge
The farthest main network tower for Coolidge is KAET (PBS), 40 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KMSB (Fox), 61 miles southeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
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.
