TV channels & antenna towers in Lyons, Kansas

Lyons is a town of about 3,730 people in Kansas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 22 licensed TV transmitters: 12 full-power, 1 Class A, 7 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Lyons, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Wichita, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Wichita's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 30 (KGBD-LD), CBS on channel 12 (KWCH-DT), NBC on channel 2 (KSNC), Fox on channel 24 (KSAS-TV), CW on channel 33 (KSCW-DT), ION on channel 34.7 (KFVT-LD) and Univision on channel 46 (KDCU-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (fair signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Lyons are in different directions: CBS 129° SE (31 mi) and NBC 281° W (31 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KWCH-DT and KSCW-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles southeast of Lyons (129° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lyons at fair strength or better, 75% 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 Lyons, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Lyons is KSNC (NBC), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KAKE (ABC), 54 miles southeast and KSAS-TV (Fox), 54 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Lyons ranks 73rd of 216 places in Kansas: more than the typical Kansas town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 29 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

47% of Kansas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Hutchinson, 25 miles away.
