17 of them are within 25 miles of Saint George, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 2 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to St. Louis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from St. Louis's stations.

The farthest main network tower for Saint George is KTVI (Fox), 3.1 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

KDTL-LD is only 1.0 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.
