By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 20 between 25 and 45 miles, and 11 farther out. Eight of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Kansas City, MO, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Kansas City's stations.

Point your antenna SE, at about 126°. The main network towers for Lansing sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KNPG-CD, KNPN-CD and KCJO-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles north of Lansing (5° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lansing at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lansing is KSHB-TV (NBC), 27 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.

With 23 stations at fair strength or better, Lansing ranks 2nd of 216 places in Kansas: more than the typical Kansas town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
