0 of them are within 25 miles of Ralls, 18 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Lubbock, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Lubbock's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ralls at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Ralls is KCBD (NBC), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
