TV channels & antenna towers in Frisco, Colorado

Frisco is a town of about 3,040 people in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 87 licensed TV transmitters: 13 full-power, 3 Class A, 19 low-power and 52 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Frisco, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 76 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Denver, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Denver's stations.

For the networks, the best local options 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), Univision on channel 14 (KCEC) and MeTV on channel 3.1 (KREG-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 5 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 ENE, at about 77°. The main network towers for Frisco sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KDVR, KWGN-TV, KUSA, KMGH-TV and KCNC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 47 miles east of Frisco (77° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Frisco at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Frisco is KUSA (NBC), 47 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 13 stations at fair strength or better, Frisco ranks 133rd of 225 places in Colorado: fewer than the typical Colorado town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 33 miles away, against a state median of 18 miles.

38% of Colorado's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Golden, 48 miles away.
