Central High is a small community of about 1,180 people in Oklahoma. There are 28 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 4 full-power, 5 Class A, 11 low-power and 8 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 22 farther out. Three of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Wichita Falls, TX, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Wichita Falls's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7 (KSWO-TV), CBS on channel 6 (KAUZ-TV), Fox on channel 18 (KJTL), CW on channel 3.3 (KFDX-TV) and Univision on channel 36 (KUOK-CD). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City, OK, 74 miles to the northeast. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (very weak signal).

Point your antenna SW, at about 224°. The main network towers for Central High sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KSWO-TV and KJTL, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles southwest of Central High (232° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Central High at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

KAUZ-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Central High. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Central High is KAUZ-TV (CBS), 56 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

With 9 stations at fair strength or better, Central High ranks 156th of 244 places in Oklahoma: fewer than the typical Oklahoma town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 46 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.

42% of Oklahoma's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Duncan, 11 miles away.
