TV channels & antenna towers in Lebanon, Oregon

With roughly 16,300 residents, Lebanon is a town in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 81 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 8 Class A, 27 low-power and 31 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

7 of them are within 25 miles of Lebanon, 19 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 55 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 2 (KATU), CBS on channel 13 (KVAL-TV), NBC on channel 8 (KGW), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV), CW on channel 16.2 (KMTR), ION on channel 22 (KPXG-TV) and Trinity on channel 24 (KNMT). 4 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 SSW, at about 196°. The main network towers for Lebanon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KMTR, KVAL-TV and KLSR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles south of Lebanon (196° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lebanon at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lebanon is KLSR-TV (Fox), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KATU (ABC), 68 miles north and KGW (NBC), 69 miles north, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Lebanon ranks 75th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 36 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 Albany, 12 miles away.
