Nine network stations, KTMW, KUPX-TV, KUCW, KSL-TV and KUTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles northwest of Benjamin (327° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Benjamin at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Benjamin is KSTU (Fox), 46 miles away with a good 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.
