Five network stations, KMSS-TV, KSHV-TV, KSLA, KTBS-TV and KPXJ, transmit from the same tower site about 6.4 miles north of Blanchard (338° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Blanchard at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Blanchard

The farthest main network tower for Blanchard is KTAL-TV (NBC), 23 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

KVPO-LD is only 1.4 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Setting up an antenna in Blanchard: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 344° NNW, the direction of KTAL-TV (NBC), 23 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 14 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
