Which way to point your antenna in Frazee
The main network towers around Frazee are in different directions: CBS 76° ENE (61 mi) and Fox 262° W (25 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
KCCW-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Frazee. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Frazee
The farthest main network tower for Frazee is KCCW-TV (CBS), 61 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Frazee: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 76° ENE, the direction of KCCW-TV (CBS), 61 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 1 station, 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.
