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.
