Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.
1 of them is within 25 miles of Kingfisher, 22 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 10 are more than 45 miles out. Eight of the 9 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.

Which way to point your antenna in Kingfisher
Point your antenna SE, at about 129°. The main network towers for Kingfisher sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, KWTV-DT, KTBO-TV, KOPX-TV, KAUT-TV and KFOR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles southeast of Kingfisher (126° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kingfisher at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Kingfisher, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Kingfisher
The farthest main network tower for Kingfisher is KOKH-TV (Fox), 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.
