TV channels & antenna towers in Ozark, Arkansas

Ozark is a town of about 3,590 people in Arkansas. There are 30 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 8 full-power, 7 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Ozark, 11 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to Fort Smith, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Fort Smith's stations.

The best-placed network stations are CBS on channel 5 (KFSM-TV), NBC on channel 51 (KNWA-TV), Fox on channel 24 (KFTA-TV), CW on channel 29.2 (KHOG-TV), Univision on channel 14 (KWNL-CD) and MeTV on channel 8 (KXMP-LD). No ABC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KATV in Little Rock, AR, 89 miles to the southeast. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (very weak signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NW, at about 317°. The main network towers for Ozark sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ozark at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Ozark is KFSM-TV (CBS), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KNWA-TV (NBC), 64 miles north, 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.

With 10 stations at fair strength or better, Ozark ranks 107th of 214 places in Arkansas: the same as the typical Arkansas town (10). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.

38% of Arkansas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Van Buren, 30 miles away.
