Six network stations, KKJB, KTVB, KTRV-TV, KNIN-TV and KBOI-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles northeast of Kuna (39° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kuna at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Kuna
The farthest main network tower for Kuna is KIVI-TV (ABC), 24 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.
