Over-the-air TV in The Pinery

With roughly 10,500 residents, The Pinery is a city in Colorado. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 54 licensed TV transmitters: 22 full-power, 2 Class A, 23 low-power and 7 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of The Pinery, 34 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 are more than 45 miles 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 13 (KRDO-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 10.2 (KCDO-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 (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.

Which way to point your antenna in The Pinery

Point your antenna WNW, at about 301°. The main network towers for The Pinery 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 33 miles northwest of The Pinery (306° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach The Pinery at fair strength or better, 38% 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 The Pinery, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for The Pinery

The farthest main network tower for The Pinery is KBDI-TV (PBS), 44 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KRDO-TV (ABC), 49 miles south and KOAA-TV (NBC), 50 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 291° WNW, the direction of KBDI-TV (PBS), 44 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
