TV channels & antenna towers in Sublimity, Oregon

Sublimity is a town of about 2,870 people in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 59 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 8 Class A, 24 low-power and 12 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 47 farther out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 2 (KATU), CBS on channel 6 (KOIN), NBC on channel 8 (KGW), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV), CW on channel 32 (KRCW-TV), ION on channel 22 (KPXG-TV) and Trinity on channel 24 (KNMT). 4 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 Sublimity are in different directions: ABC 4° N (48 mi), CBS 4° N (48 mi), NBC 3° N (48 mi) and Fox 195° SSW (59 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Seven network stations, KRCW-TV, KATU, KOIN, KNMT and KPTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 48 miles north of Sublimity (4° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sublimity at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Sublimity is KLSR-TV (Fox), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Sublimity ranks 75th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 48 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 Salem, 14 miles away.
