Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Junction City at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Junction City is KEZI (ABC), 17 miles away with a fair 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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Junction City ranks 136th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 16 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
