With roughly 1,020 residents, Plummer is a small community in Idaho. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 11 full-power, 1 Class A, 9 low-power and 19 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 16 between 25 and 45 miles, and 22 farther out. Six of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to Spokane, WA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Spokane's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 4 (KXLY-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KREM), NBC on channel 6 (KHQ-TV), Fox on channel 28 (KAYU-TV), CW on channel 22 (KSKN) and ION on channel 34 (KGPX-TV). 4 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 NW, at about 320°. The main network towers for Plummer sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, KAYU-TV, KHQ-TV, KGPX-TV, KREM and KSKN, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles northwest of Plummer (312° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Plummer at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Plummer is KXLY-TV (ABC), 42 miles away with a fair 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.
