TV channels & antenna towers in North Bend, Oregon

North Bend is a town of about 9,670 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 87 licensed TV transmitters: 10 full-power, 2 Class A, 19 low-power and 56 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.

12 of them are within 25 miles of North Bend, 21 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 54 are more than 45 miles 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 9 (KEZI), CBS on channel 11 (KCBY-TV), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV) and CW on channel 23.2 (KMCB). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KOBI in Medford, OR, 70 miles to the southeast. 2 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 North Bend are in different directions: ABC 29° NNE (70 mi), CBS 103° ESE (4.8 mi) and Fox 53° NE (69 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KMCB and KCBY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 4.8 miles east of North Bend (103° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for North Bend is KEZI (ABC), 70 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KMCB is only 4.8 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, North Bend ranks 151st of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 4.8 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 Roseburg, 46 miles away.
