Over-the-air TV in Haskell
Haskell, Arkansas has a population of about 4,480. There are 23 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 11 full-power, 3 Class A and 9 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.
18 of them are within 25 miles of Haskell, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 2 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Little Rock, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Little Rock's stations.
For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7 (KATV), CBS on channel 11 (KTHV), NBC on channel 4 (KARK-TV), Fox on channel 16 (KLRT-TV), CW on channel 38 (KASN), Telemundo on channel 30 (KKYK-CD), Univision on channel 20 (KLRA-CD) and MeTV on channel 49.1 (KMYA-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (fair signal). 6 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 Haskell
Point your antenna NNE, at about 21°. The main network towers for Haskell sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Six network stations, KTHV, KARK-TV, KLRA-CD, KKYK-CD and KATV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles north of Haskell (21° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Haskell at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Haskell, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Haskell
The farthest main network tower for Haskell is KLRT-TV (Fox), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor 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.
Other stations near Haskell
Full-power independents, low-power stations and translators that relay a bigger station's signal.

How Haskell compares with the rest of Arkansas
With 19 stations at fair strength or better, Haskell ranks 15th of 214 places in Arkansas: more than the typical Arkansas town (10). Its nearest major network tower is 22 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.
12% of Arkansas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Benton, 5.2 miles away.
Setting up an antenna in Haskell: step by step
- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
- Point it toward 22° NNE, the direction of KLRT-TV (Fox), 22 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 19 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
Frequently asked questions
What channel is ABC in Haskell, AR?
ABC is on channel 7 from KATV, broadcasting from 22 miles NNE of Haskell. Estimated signal: strong.
What channel is CBS in Haskell, AR?
CBS is on channel 11 from KTHV, broadcasting from 22 miles NNE of Haskell. Estimated signal: good.
What channel is NBC in Haskell, AR?
NBC is on channel 4 from KARK-TV, broadcasting from 22 miles NNE of Haskell. Estimated signal: strong.
What channel is Fox in Haskell, AR?
Fox is on channel 16 from KLRT-TV, broadcasting from 22 miles NNE of Haskell. Estimated signal: strong.
What channel is CW in Haskell, AR?
CW is on channel 38 from KASN, broadcasting from 24 miles E of Haskell. Estimated signal: strong.
How many channels can I get with an antenna in Haskell?
23 transmitters within 70 miles of Haskell; around 19 of them are likely to be receivable with indoor antenna. Each station usually carries several subchannels, so the total channel count after a scan is higher.
Which direction should I point my TV antenna in Haskell?
Point your antenna NNE, at about 21°. The main network towers for Haskell sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
What kind of antenna do I need in Haskell?
Indoor antenna (up to ~25 miles). The main towers are close. A flat indoor antenna near a window facing the towers should pull in the major networks.
Do I need an antenna amplifier in Haskell?
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.
Is there an app to find TV towers in Haskell?
Yes. The free RCA Signal Finder app for iPhone and Android uses your phone's GPS and compass to show which way each tower is from where you stand.
