TV channels & antenna towers in Highland, Utah

Highland is a town of about 18,000 people in Utah. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 207 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 3 Class A, 10 low-power and 180 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 21 transmitters are within 25 miles, 77 between 25 and 45 miles, and 109 farther out. Seven of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Salt Lake City, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Salt Lake City's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 4 (KTVX), CBS on channel 2 (KUTV), NBC on channel 5 (KSL-TV), Fox on channel 13 (KSTU), CW on channel 30 (KUCW), ION on channel 16.4 (KUPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 20 (KTMW), Univision on channel 32 (KUTH-DT) and MeTV on channel 8.1 (KCSG-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (good signal). 6 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 NW, at about 307°. The main network towers for Highland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, KTMW, KUPX-TV, KULX-CD, KUCW and KSL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles northwest of Highland (306° NW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Highland at fair strength or better, 90% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Highland is KSTU (Fox), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 22 stations at fair strength or better, Highland ranks 11th of 180 places in Utah: more than the typical Utah town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 13 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.

39% of Utah's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Lehi, 3.8 miles away.
