With roughly 4,080 residents, Fort Gibson is a town in Oklahoma. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 45 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 8 Class A, 17 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Fort Gibson, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 35 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Tulsa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tulsa's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up 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.

Which way to point your antenna in Fort Gibson

Point your antenna WNW, at about 302°. The main network towers for Fort Gibson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KQCW-DT, KOTV-DT, KJRH-TV and KOKI-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles northwest of Fort Gibson (303° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fort Gibson at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fort Gibson

The farthest main network tower for Fort Gibson is KOKI-TV (Fox), 29 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.
