Which way to point your antenna in Quinton
Point your antenna NNW, at about 345°. The main network towers for Quinton 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 64 miles north of Quinton (345° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Quinton at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.
KOKI-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Quinton. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Quinton
The farthest main network tower for Quinton is KOKI-TV (Fox), 65 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
KOET is only 4.6 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 345° NNW, the direction of KOKI-TV (Fox), 65 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
