TV channels & antenna towers in Florence, Oregon

With roughly 8,650 residents, Florence is a town in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 87 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 3 Class A, 24 low-power and 49 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 11 transmitters are within 25 miles, 12 between 25 and 45 miles, and 64 farther out. Four of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Eugene, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Eugene's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 9 (KEZI), CBS on channel 13 (KVAL-TV), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV) and CW on channel 16.2 (KMTR). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KOBI in Medford, OR, 99 miles to the southeast. 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 ENE, at about 76°. The main network towers for Florence sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KMCB and KCBY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles south of Florence (182° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Florence at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Florence is KLSR-TV (Fox), 49 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Florence ranks 151st of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 35 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
