With roughly 19,300 residents, Sherwood is a town in Oregon. Our map shows 55 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 10 full-power, 5 Class A, 18 low-power and 22 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 24 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

21 of them are within 25 miles of Sherwood, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 30 are more than 45 miles 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 NNE, at about 23°. The main network towers for Sherwood 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 12 miles northeast of Sherwood (25° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sherwood at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Sherwood is KGW (NBC), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KRCW-TV is only 12 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 24 stations at fair strength or better, Sherwood ranks 6th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
