TV channels & antenna towers in Wilson, Oklahoma

Wilson is a small community of about 1,610 people in Oklahoma. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 21 licensed TV transmitters: 12 full-power, 2 Class A, 6 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Wilson, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 4 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 7 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) and Univision on channel 25 (KUTU-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (very weak signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NNE, at about 31°. The main network towers for Wilson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KOTV-DT, KJRH-TV, KQCW-DT and KOKI-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles northeast of Wilson (29° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wilson at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Wilson is KOKI-TV (Fox), 41 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.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Wilson ranks 144th of 244 places in Oklahoma: fewer than the typical Oklahoma town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.

44% of Oklahoma's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Bixby, 31 miles away.
