With roughly 1,500 residents, Gower is a small community in Missouri. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 25 licensed TV transmitters: 12 full-power, 3 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 18 between 25 and 45 miles, and 3 farther out. Eight of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Kansas City, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Kansas City's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 9 (KMBC-TV), CBS on channel 5 (KCTV), NBC on channel 41 (KSHB-TV), Fox on channel 4 (WDAF-TV), CW on channel 29 (KCWE), ION on channel 50 (KPXE-TV), Telemundo on channel 39 (KGKC-LD), Univision on channel 14 (KUKC-LD) and Trinity on channel 16 (KTAJ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 4 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 S, at about 177°. The main network towers for Gower sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KNPG-CD, KNPN-CD and KCJO-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles northwest of Gower (307° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Gower at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Gower is KSHB-TV (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Gower ranks 156th of 398 places in Missouri: more than the typical Missouri town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
