Five network stations, KAYU-TV, KHQ-TV, KGPX-TV, KREM and KSKN, transmit from the same tower site about 55 miles west of Kellogg (273° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kellogg at fair strength or better, 83% 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 Kellogg, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Kellogg
The farthest main network tower for Kellogg is KREM (CBS), 55 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
