Which way to point your antenna in Parks

Point your antenna SE, at about 129°. The main network towers for Parks sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KTVW-CD and KNAZ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles southeast of Parks (129° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Parks

The farthest main network tower for Parks is KNAZ-TV (NBC), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
