KFSM-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Cassville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Cassville
The farthest main network tower for Cassville is KRBK (Fox), 63 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KJNM-LD is only 2.8 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.
