With roughly 60,900 residents, Springfield is a city 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, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 26 transmitters are within 25 miles, 19 between 25 and 45 miles, and 30 farther out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Eugene, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Eugene's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 9 (KEZI), CBS on channel 13 (KVAL-TV), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV) and CW on channel 16.2 (KMTR). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KOBI in Medford, OR, 94 miles to the south. 3 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 Springfield are in different directions: ABC 304° WNW (31 mi), CBS 237° WSW (5.6 mi) and Fox 235° SW (5.5 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, KLSR-TV, KMTR and KVAL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 5.5 miles southwest of Springfield (235° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Springfield is KEZI (ABC), 31 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KLSR-TV is only 5.5 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Springfield ranks 112th of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 5.5 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
