Seven network stations, KRCW-TV, KATU, KOIN, KNMT and KPTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 6.1 miles north of Tigard (17° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Tigard at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Tigard is KGW (NBC), 6.4 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 6.1 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 21 stations at fair strength or better, Tigard ranks 20th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 6.1 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
