Over-the-air TV in Pryor

Pryor is a town of about 8,710 people in Oklahoma. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 37 licensed TV transmitters: 16 full-power, 6 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Pryor, 18 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Tulsa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tulsa's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 8 (KTUL), CBS on channel 6 (KOTV-DT), NBC on channel 2 (KJRH-TV), Fox on channel 23 (KOKI-TV), CW on channel 19 (KQCW-DT), ION on channel 44 (KTPX-TV), Univision on channel 25 (KUTU-CD) and Trinity on channel 17 (KDOR-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (weak signal). 7 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 Pryor

Point your antenna SW, at about 223°. The main network towers for Pryor sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KOKI-TV, KQCW-DT, KOTV-DT and KJRH-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles southwest of Pryor (226° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pryor at fair strength or better, 86% 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 Pryor, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pryor

The farthest main network tower for Pryor is KTUL (ABC), 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.

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 215° SW, the direction of KTUL (ABC), 29 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 12 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
