Over-the-air TV in Haskell

Haskell is a town of about 3,230 people in Texas. There are 9 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 4 full-power, 4 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 3 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Haskell, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 8 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 4 network stations in range are licensed to Abilene, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Abilene's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are CBS on channel 32 (KTAB-TV), NBC on channel 9 (KRBC-TV), Fox on channel 15 (KXVA) and CW on channel 12.2 (KTXS-TV). No ABC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KSWO-TV in Lawton, OK, 93 miles to the northeast.

Which way to point your antenna in Haskell

Point your antenna S, at about 172°. The main network towers for Haskell sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KRBC-TV, KTAB-TV and KXVA, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles south of Haskell (173° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

KTAB-TV (CBS), KRBC-TV (NBC) and KXVA (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Haskell. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Haskell

The farthest main network tower for Haskell is KXVA (Fox), 62 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Other stations near Haskell

Full-power independents, low-power stations and translators that relay a bigger station's signal.

How Haskell compares with the rest of Texas

With 3 stations at fair strength or better, Haskell ranks 906th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 56 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.

32% of Texas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Abilene, 49 miles away.

Setting up an antenna in Haskell: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 172° S, the direction of KXVA (Fox), 62 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 3 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.

Frequently asked questions

What channel is CBS in Haskell, TX?

CBS is on channel 32 from KTAB-TV, broadcasting from 61 miles S of Haskell. Estimated signal: fair.

What channel is NBC in Haskell, TX?

NBC is on channel 9 from KRBC-TV, broadcasting from 61 miles S of Haskell. Estimated signal: fair.

What channel is Fox in Haskell, TX?

Fox is on channel 15 from KXVA, broadcasting from 62 miles S of Haskell. Estimated signal: weak.

What channel is CW in Haskell, TX?

CW is on channel 12.2 from KTXS-TV, broadcasting from 56 miles SSW of Haskell. Estimated signal: good.

How many channels can I get with an antenna in Haskell?

9 transmitters within 70 miles of Haskell; around 3 of them are likely to be receivable with outdoor directional antenna. Each station usually carries several subchannels, so the total channel count after a scan is higher.

Which direction should I point my TV antenna in Haskell?

Point your antenna S, at about 172°. The main network towers for Haskell sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

What kind of antenna do I need in Haskell?

Outdoor directional antenna (45–70 miles). Some major towers are a long way off. Mount a directional antenna on the roof or a mast and aim it with the bearings below.

Do I need an antenna amplifier in Haskell?

Is there an app to find TV towers in Haskell?

Yes. The free RCA Signal Finder app for iPhone and Android uses your phone's GPS and compass to show which way each tower is from where you stand.
