TV channels & antenna towers in Williams, Oregon

With roughly 1,070 residents, Williams is a small community in Oregon. Our map shows 91 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 7 full-power, 3 Class A, 28 low-power and 53 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 28 transmitters are within 25 miles, 23 between 25 and 45 miles, and 40 farther out. Four of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Medford, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Medford's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 12 (KDRV), NBC on channel 5 (KOBI), Fox on channel 26 (KMVU-DT) and CW on channel 10.2 (KTVL). No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KPIC in Roseburg, OR, 70 miles to the north. 2 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 Williams are in different directions: ABC 4° N (33 mi) and Fox 78° ENE (27 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KDRV and KOBI, transmit from the same tower site about 33 miles north of Williams (4° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Williams at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Williams is KDRV (ABC), 33 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KOBI (NBC), 33 miles north, 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.

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 11 stations at fair strength or better, Williams ranks 161st of 219 places in Oregon: fewer than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 27 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.
