Point your antenna SW, at about 224°. The main network towers for Robinson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, KXXV, KNCT, KWTX-TV and KWKT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles southwest of Robinson (232° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Robinson at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Robinson, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Robinson
The farthest main network tower for Robinson is KWKT-TV (Fox), 16 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KXXV is only 15 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.

- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
- Point it toward 230° SW, the direction of KWKT-TV (Fox), 16 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 7 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.
