Which way to point your antenna in Blanchard

Point your antenna NNE, at about 18°. The main network towers for Blanchard sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KOKH-TV, KTUZ-TV, KOCO-TV, KOPX-TV and KAUT-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles north of Blanchard (19° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Blanchard at fair strength or better, 89% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Blanchard

The farthest main network tower for Blanchard is KWTV-DT (CBS), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
