Over-the-air TV in Bennett

Bennett is a small community of about 2,480 people in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 50 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 2 Class A, 20 low-power and 10 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Bennett, 30 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Denver, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Denver's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7 (KMGH-TV), CBS on channel 4 (KCNC-TV), NBC on channel 9 (KUSA), Fox on channel 31 (KDVR), PBS on channel 12 (KBDI-TV), CW on channel 2 (KWGN-TV), ION on channel 10.2 (KCDO-TV), Telemundo on channel 25 (KDEN-TV), Univision on channel 14 (KCEC) and Trinity on channel 38 (KPJR-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good 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 Bennett

Point your antenna W, at about 268°. The main network towers for Bennett sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KUSA, KMGH-TV, KCNC-TV, KWGN-TV and KDVR, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles west of Bennett (268° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bennett at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Bennett

The farthest main network tower for Bennett is KDVR (Fox), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KBDI-TV (PBS), 57 miles west, 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.

Setting up an antenna in Bennett: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 267° W, the direction of KDVR (Fox), 43 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 17 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
