TV channels & antenna towers in Winston, Oregon

With roughly 5,390 residents, Winston is a town in Oregon. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 138 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 5 Class A, 33 low-power and 86 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 22 transmitters are within 25 miles, 33 between 25 and 45 miles, and 83 farther out. Three of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Medford, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Medford's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 12 (KDRV), CBS on channel 4 (KPIC), 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.

The main network towers around Winston are in different directions: ABC 163° SSE (31 mi), CBS 30° NNE (9.0 mi) and NBC 162° SSE (31 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, KOBI and KDRV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles south of Winston (162° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Winston at fair strength or better, 29% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Winston is KDRV (ABC), 31 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KLSR-TV (Fox), 63 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Winston ranks 75th of 219 places in Oregon: more than the typical Oregon town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 6.3 miles away, against a state median of 20 miles.

47% of Oregon's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Roseburg, 7.4 miles away.
