TV channels & antenna towers in Southglenn, Colorado

Southglenn is a city of about 42,300 people in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 59 licensed TV transmitters: 23 full-power, 2 Class A, 27 low-power and 7 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 36 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 18 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 23 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Six of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Denver, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Denver's stations.

The best-placed network stations 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.

Point your antenna WNW, at about 298°. The main network towers for Southglenn sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KUSA, KMGH-TV, KCNC-TV, KDVR and KWGN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 18 miles northwest of Southglenn (304° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Southglenn at fair strength or better, 31% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Southglenn is KBDI-TV (PBS), 30 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOAA-TV (NBC), 58 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.

With 36 stations at fair strength or better, Southglenn ranks 1st of 225 places in Colorado: more than the typical Colorado town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 18 miles.

48% of Colorado's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Highlands Ranch, 2.5 miles away.
