Point your antenna W, at about 266°. The main network towers for Stanton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KPEJ-TV and KMID, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles west of Stanton (266° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Stanton at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Stanton is KPEJ-TV (Fox), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KWES-TV (NBC), 65 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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.
