Which way to point your antenna in Spearman
Point your antenna SSW, at about 211°. The main network towers for Spearman sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, KAMR-TV and KCIT, transmit from the same tower site about 69 miles southwest of Spearman (211° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Spearman at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.
KAMR-TV (NBC) and KCIT (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Spearman. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Spearman
The farthest main network tower for Spearman is KCIT (Fox), 69 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Spearman: 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 211° SSW, the direction of KCIT (Fox), 69 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.
