Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 34 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

23 of them are within 25 miles of Holly Hills, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 19 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 5 (KOAA-TV), Fox on channel 31 (KDVR), PBS on channel 12 (KBDI-TV), CW on channel 2 (KWGN-TV), ION on channel 59 (KPXC-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 (strong signal). 7 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 Holly Hills

Point your antenna WNW, at about 281°. The main network towers for Holly Hills 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 17 miles west of Holly Hills (285° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Holly Hills at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Holly Hills

The farthest main network tower for Holly Hills is KBDI-TV (PBS), 31 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOAA-TV (NBC), 64 miles south, 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.
