Over-the-air TV in Phoenix
Phoenix is a town of about 4,550 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 75 licensed TV transmitters: 9 full-power, 3 Class A, 22 low-power and 41 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 29 transmitters are within 25 miles, 25 between 25 and 45 miles, and 21 farther out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Medford, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Medford's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Phoenix
The main network towers around Phoenix are in different directions: ABC 324° NW (36 mi) and Fox 66° ENE (3.9 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Two network stations, KDRV and KOBI, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles northwest of Phoenix (324° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Phoenix, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Phoenix
The farthest main network tower for Phoenix is KDRV (ABC), 36 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KOBI (NBC), 36 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
KTVL is only 14 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.

Setting up an antenna in Phoenix: step by step
- Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
- Point it toward 324° NW, the direction of KDRV (ABC), 36 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 16 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.

Which direction should I point my TV antenna in Phoenix?

What kind of antenna do I need in Phoenix?

The towers are spread over about 102° of the compass, so a multi-directional antenna or a rotator will help. Picking up NBC from up to 36 miles away would take an outdoor antenna.
