TV channels & antenna towers in Troy, Kansas

With roughly 988 residents, Troy is a small community in Kansas. Our map shows 32 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 15 full-power, 4 Class A, 11 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Eight of the 16 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 9 (KMBC-TV), CBS on channel 5 (KCTV), NBC on channel 41 (KSHB-TV), Fox on channel 4 (WDAF-TV), CW on channel 29 (KCWE), ION on channel 50 (KPXE-TV), Telemundo on channel 39 (KGKC-LD), Univision on channel 14 (KUKC-LD) and Trinity on channel 16 (KTAJ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (very weak signal). 5 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 SSE, at about 150°. The main network towers for Troy 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 13 miles east of Troy (99° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

KMBC-TV (ABC), KCTV (CBS), KSHB-TV (NBC) and WDAF-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Troy. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Troy is KSHB-TV (NBC), 63 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Troy ranks 38th of 216 places in Kansas: more than the typical Kansas town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 13 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

36% of Kansas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Saint Joseph, 13 miles away.
