Which way to point your antenna in Hazen
The main network towers around Hazen are in different directions: ABC 12° NNE (54 mi) and Fox 141° SE (61 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Three network stations, KFYR-TV, KXMB-TV and KBMY, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles southeast of Hazen (141° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
KMCY (ABC) and KFYR-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Hazen. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Hazen
The farthest main network tower for Hazen is KFYR-TV (Fox), 61 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Hazen: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 141° SE, the direction of KFYR-TV (Fox), 61 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 3 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
