Stowell is a small community of about 1,760 people in Texas. There are 53 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 22 full-power, 2 Class A and 29 low-power.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 14 between 25 and 45 miles, and 35 farther out. Six of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Houston, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Houston's stations.

Two network stations, KITU-TV and KBMT, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles northeast of Stowell (47° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Stowell at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KVHP (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Stowell. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Stowell is KHOU (CBS), 69 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 26 stations at fair strength or better, Stowell ranks 128th of 1,039 places in Texas: more than the typical Texas town (14). Its nearest major network tower is 34 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 Beaumont, 27 miles away.
