Weston is a small community of about 1,720 people in Missouri. There are 36 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 4 Class A, 14 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Weston, 20 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Eight of the 17 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.

Point your antenna SE, at about 143°. The main network towers for Weston 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 24 miles north of Weston (8° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Weston at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Weston is KSHB-TV (NBC), 36 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Weston ranks 142nd of 398 places in Missouri: more than the typical Missouri town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 24 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 Leavenworth, 7.0 miles away.
