TV channels & antenna towers in Mulino, Oregon

Mulino is a small community of about 2,100 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 47 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 5 Class A, 16 low-power and 16 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 21 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 22 farther out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 2 (KATU), CBS on channel 6 (KOIN), NBC on channel 8 (KGW), Fox on channel 12 (KPTV), CW on channel 32 (KRCW-TV), ION on channel 22 (KPXG-TV) and Trinity on channel 24 (KNMT). 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 NNW, at about 339°. The main network towers for Mulino sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, KRCW-TV, KATU, KOIN, KNMT and KPTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles north of Mulino (340° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mulino at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Mulino is KGW (NBC), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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 21 stations at fair strength or better, Mulino ranks 20th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 22 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 Oregon City, 9.5 miles away.
