Weiser is a town of about 5,320 people in Idaho. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 54 licensed TV transmitters: 7 full-power, 3 Class A, 16 low-power and 28 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 7 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Weiser, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 44 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Boise, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Boise's stations.

No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KLEW-TV in Lewiston, ID, 153 miles to the north. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (very weak signal). 1 full-power station in range has no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SE, at about 128°. The main network towers for Weiser sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KKJB, KBOI-TV, KIVI-TV, KTVB and KTRV-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 54 miles southeast of Weiser (130° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Weiser at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Weiser is KNIN-TV (Fox), 55 miles away with a fair 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.

With 7 stations at fair strength or better, Weiser ranks 66th of 98 places in Idaho: fewer than the typical Idaho town (10). Its nearest major network tower is 54 miles away, against a state median of 35 miles.

44% of Idaho's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Caldwell, 43 miles away.
