Over-the-air TV in Central Point

With roughly 18,000 residents, Central Point is a town in Oregon. Our map shows 95 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 12 full-power, 3 Class A, 27 low-power and 53 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 36 transmitters are within 25 miles, 19 between 25 and 45 miles, and 40 farther out. Four of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Medford, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Medford's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Central Point

The main network towers around Central Point are in different directions: ABC 324° NW (27 mi), NBC 324° NW (27 mi) and Fox 122° ESE (10 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KDRV and KOBI, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles northwest of Central Point (324° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Central Point at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Central Point

The farthest main network tower for Central Point is KOBI (NBC), 27 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KPIC (CBS), 63 miles north, 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.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Central Point: step by step

  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 324° NW, the direction of KOBI (NBC), 27 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 18 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.
