Within 70 miles of the town center we count 78 licensed TV transmitters: 28 full-power, 11 Class A, 21 low-power and 18 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 38 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

14 of them are within 25 miles of Stallion Springs, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 56 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Bakersfield, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Bakersfield's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 23 (KERO-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KCBS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (KNBC), Fox on channel 58.2 (KBAK-TV), PBS on channel 58 (KLCS), CW on channel 17.2 (KGET-TV), ION on channel 30 (KPXN-TV), Telemundo on channel 52 (KVEA), Univision on channel 34 (KMEX-DT), MeTV on channel 34.2 (KCBT-LD) and Trinity on channel 40 (KTBN-TV).

Point your antenna N, at about 6°. The main network towers for Stallion Springs sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KBAK-TV, KBFX-CD and KERO-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles north of Stallion Springs (7° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Stallion Springs at fair strength or better, 69% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Stallion Springs is KERO-TV (ABC), 25 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KCBS-TV (CBS), 67 miles southeast, KNBC (NBC), 68 miles southeast and KLCS (PBS), 68 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 38 stations at fair strength or better, Stallion Springs ranks 52nd of 1,078 places in California: more than the typical California town (25). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

48% of California's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Arvin, 13 miles away.
