Two network stations, KDRV and KOBI, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles northwest of Talent (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 Talent, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Talent is KDRV (ABC), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOBI (NBC), 38 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 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Talent ranks 103rd of 219 places in Oregon: the same as the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 4.1 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
