TV channels & antenna towers in Cushing, Oklahoma

Cushing is a town of about 7,870 people in Oklahoma. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 40 licensed TV transmitters: 23 full-power, 5 Class A, 10 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Cushing, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Eight of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Oklahoma City, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Oklahoma City's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 8 (KTUL), CBS on channel 9 (KWTV-DT), NBC on channel 4 (KFOR-TV), Fox on channel 25 (KOKH-TV), CW on channel 43 (KAUT-TV), ION on channel 44 (KTPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 30 (KTUZ-TV), Univision on channel 25 (KUTU-CD) and Trinity on channel 14 (KTBO-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (very weak signal). 8 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Cushing are in different directions: ABC 91° E (64 mi), CBS 237° WSW (49 mi), NBC 235° SW (50 mi) and Fox 234° SW (50 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, KWTV-DT, KTBO-TV, KOPX-TV, KAUT-TV and KFOR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles southwest of Cushing (237° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cushing at fair strength or better, 62% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Cushing is KTUL (ABC), 64 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Cushing ranks 60th of 244 places in Oklahoma: more than the typical Oklahoma town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 37 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 Stillwater, 19 miles away.
