TV channels & antenna towers in Ashland, Oregon

Ashland is a town of about 20,900 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 74 licensed TV transmitters: 9 full-power, 3 Class A, 23 low-power and 39 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

24 of them are within 25 miles of Ashland, 29 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 21 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Medford, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Medford's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 12 (KDRV), NBC on channel 5 (KOBI), Fox on channel 26 (KMVU-DT) and CW on channel 10.2 (KTVL). No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KPIC in Roseburg, OR, 78 miles to the northwest. 3 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 NNW, at about 333°. The main network towers for Ashland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KDRV and KOBI, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles northwest of Ashland (322° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

The farthest main network tower for Ashland is KDRV (ABC), 43 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOBI (NBC), 44 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

KTVL is only 7.9 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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Ashland ranks 125th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 7.4 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

47% of Oregon's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Medford, 12 miles away.
