23 of them are within 25 miles of Ogden, 66 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 74 are more than 45 miles 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.

Nine network stations, KEJT-CD, KULX-CD, KUCW, KSL-TV and KUTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles south of Ogden (197° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Ogden is KSTU (Fox), 41 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Ogden ranks 89th of 180 places in Utah: the same as the typical Utah town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 39 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.
