With roughly 2,150 residents, Lyons is a small community in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 42 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 3 Class A, 17 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

11 of them are within 25 miles of Lyons, 24 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 7 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Denver, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Denver's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong 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.

Point your antenna S, at about 181°. The main network towers for Lyons sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KWGN-TV, KUSA, KMGH-TV, KCNC-TV and KDVR, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles south of Lyons (177° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Lyons is KBDI-TV (PBS), 39 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
