Over-the-air TV in Rogers
Rogers is a small community of about 1,210 people in Texas. There are 37 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 14 full-power, 8 Class A and 15 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Six of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Austin, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Austin's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Rogers
Point your antenna NNW, at about 349°. The main network towers for Rogers sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, KWKT-TV, KNCT, KWTX-TV and KXXV, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles north of Rogers (347° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Rogers at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Rogers, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Rogers
The farthest main network tower for Rogers is KXXV (ABC), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KEYE-TV (CBS), 54 miles southwest and KXAN-TV (NBC), 54 miles southwest, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.
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.

- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
