Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

22 of them are within 25 miles of Palisade, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 31 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Grand Junction, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Grand Junction's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are CBS on channel 5 (KREX-TV), NBC on channel 11 (KKCO), Fox on channel 4 (KFQX), CW on channel 8.2 (KJCT-CD) and MeTV on channel 3.1 (KREG-TV). No ABC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KMGH-TV in Denver, CO, 172 miles to the east. 2 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 W, at about 262°. The main network towers for Palisade sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KKCO and KFQX, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles west of Palisade (262° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Palisade at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Palisade is KFQX (Fox), 21 miles away with a good 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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Palisade ranks 128th of 225 places in Colorado: fewer than the typical Colorado town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 6.8 miles away, against a state median of 18 miles.
