TV channels & antenna towers in Lyons, Oregon

Lyons is a small community of about 1,190 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 56 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 8 Class A, 23 low-power and 10 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Lyons, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 44 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 6 (KOIN), NBC on channel 8 (KGW), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV), CW on channel 32 (KRCW-TV), 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.

The main network towers around Lyons are in different directions: ABC 354° N (52 mi), CBS 354° N (52 mi), NBC 353° N (52 mi) and Fox 205° SSW (59 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Seven network stations, KRCW-TV, KATU, KOIN, KNMT and KPTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 52 miles north of Lyons (354° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lyons at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KLSR-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Lyons. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Lyons is KLSR-TV (Fox), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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 17 stations at fair strength or better, Lyons ranks 93rd of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 52 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

30% of Oregon's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Salem, 24 miles away.
