Roscoe is a small community of about 1,330 people in Texas. There are 20 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 8 full-power, 10 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 4 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Roscoe, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to San Angelo, so most of the network channels you will find here come from San Angelo'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), CW on channel 12.2 (KTXS-TV) and Univision on channel 41 (KEUS-LD). No ABC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is KMID in Midland, TX, 105 miles to the west. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (very weak signal). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna ESE, at about 102°. The main network towers for Roscoe 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 56 miles east of Roscoe (102° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Roscoe at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Roscoe is KXVA (Fox), 57 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.

With 4 stations at fair strength or better, Roscoe ranks 876th of 1,039 places in Texas: fewer than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 25 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, 47 miles away.
