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

The farthest main network tower for Roy is KSTU (Fox), 36 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KUTA-LD is only 0.6 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Roy ranks 89th of 180 places in Utah: the same as the typical Utah town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 34 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.
