TV channels & antenna towers in Battlefield, Missouri

With roughly 6,000 residents, Battlefield is a town in Missouri. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 28 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 1 Class A, 15 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

11 of them are within 25 miles of Battlefield, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Springfield, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Springfield's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 12 (KODE-TV), CBS on channel 10 (KOLR), NBC on channel 3 (KYTV), Fox on channel 49 (KRBK), CW on channel 24 (KYCW-LD), ION on channel 20.2 (KFKY-LD) and MeTV on channel 8 (KXMP-LD). 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 ENE, at about 75°. The main network towers for Battlefield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KOLR and KRBK, transmit from the same tower site about 24 miles east of Battlefield (73° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Battlefield at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Battlefield is KRBK (Fox), 24 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KODE-TV (ABC), 65 miles west, 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Battlefield ranks 147th of 398 places in Missouri: more than the typical Missouri town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 10 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

30% of Missouri's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Nixa, 6.5 miles away.
