Over-the-air TV in Vinita

Vinita is a town of about 5,640 people in Oklahoma. There are 43 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 19 full-power, 6 Class A and 18 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 0 transmitters are within 25 miles, 5 between 25 and 45 miles, and 38 farther out. Five of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Tulsa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tulsa's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 12 (KODE-TV), CBS on channel 6 (KOTV-DT), NBC on channel 16 (KSNF), Fox on channel 23 (KOKI-TV), CW on channel 19 (KQCW-DT), ION on channel 49.6 (KPJO-LD), Univision on channel 25 (KUTU-CD) and Trinity on channel 17 (KDOR-TV). 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 Vinita

Point your antenna NE, at about 47°. The main network towers for Vinita sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KODE-TV and KSNF, transmit from the same tower site about 45 miles northeast of Vinita (47° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Vinita at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Vinita

The farthest main network tower for Vinita is KSNF (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOTV-DT (CBS), 52 miles southwest and KOKI-TV (Fox), 51 miles southwest, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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 47° NE, the direction of KSNF (NBC), 45 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 14 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.
