With roughly 1,630 residents, Comanche is a small community in Oklahoma. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 20 licensed TV transmitters: 4 full-power, 2 Class A, 8 low-power and 6 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 8 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 12 farther out. Three of the 4 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.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 7 (KSWO-TV), CBS on channel 6 (KAUZ-TV), Fox on channel 18 (KJTL) and CW on channel 3.3 (KFDX-TV). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City, OK, 87 miles to the north.

Point your antenna WSW, at about 246°. The main network towers for Comanche 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 45 miles west of Comanche (256° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Comanche at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Comanche is KAUZ-TV (CBS), 46 miles away with a good 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.

With 8 stations at fair strength or better, Comanche ranks 167th of 244 places in Oklahoma: fewer than the typical Oklahoma town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 45 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, 9.2 miles away.
