TV channels & antenna towers in Grayson, Kentucky

Grayson is a town of about 4,060 people in Kentucky. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 18 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 4 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 6 farther out. Two of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Huntington, WV, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Huntington's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 8 (WCHS-TV), CBS on channel 13 (WOWK-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WSAZ-TV), CW on channel 30 (WQCW) and ION on channel 29 (WLPX-TV). No Fox affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WDKY-TV in Danville, KY, 81 miles to the west. 6 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 ENE, at about 73°. The main network towers for Grayson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WSAZ-TV, WQCW, WOWK-TV and WLPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles east of Grayson (73° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Grayson is WOWK-TV (CBS), 42 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WCHS-TV (ABC), 57 miles east, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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, Grayson ranks 142nd of 275 places in Kentucky: fewer than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 41 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

48% of Kentucky's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Meads, 14 miles away.
