Sutherlin, Oregon has a population of about 7,910. There are 112 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 14 full-power, 4 Class A, 26 low-power and 68 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 23 transmitters are within 25 miles, 41 between 25 and 45 miles, and 48 farther out. Four of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Eugene, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Eugene's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 12 (KDRV), CBS on channel 13 (KVAL-TV), NBC on channel 5 (KOBI), Fox on channel 34 (KLSR-TV) and CW on channel 46.2 (KTCW). 4 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 13°. The main network towers for Sutherlin sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KLSR-TV, KMTR and KVAL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles north of Sutherlin (13° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sutherlin at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Sutherlin is KVAL-TV (CBS), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KDRV (ABC), 48 miles south and KOBI (NBC), 48 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Sutherlin ranks 93rd of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 11 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
