TV channels & antenna towers in Nyssa, Oregon

Nyssa is a town of about 3,180 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 50 licensed TV transmitters: 7 full-power, 2 Class A, 16 low-power and 25 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 35 farther out. Five of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Boise, ID, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Boise's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 6 (KIVI-TV), NBC on channel 7 (KTVB), Fox on channel 9 (KNIN-TV), CW on channel 2.2 (KBOI-TV), ION on channel 12 (KTRV-TV), Telemundo on channel 39 (KKJB) and Univision on channel 34 (KEVA-LD). No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KLEW-TV in Lewiston, ID, 178 miles to the north. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (very weak signal). 1 full-power station in range has no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna E, at about 100°. The main network towers for Nyssa sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KKJB, KTVB, KBOI-TV, KIVI-TV and KTRV-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles east of Nyssa (102° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Nyssa at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Nyssa is KNIN-TV (Fox), 45 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Nyssa ranks 174th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 44 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 Caldwell, 21 miles away.
