Which way to point your antenna in Sunset

Point your antenna SSW, at about 195°. The main network towers for Sunset sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, KEJT-CD, KULX-CD, KUCW, KSL-TV and KUTV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles south of Sunset (195° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sunset 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 Sunset, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Sunset

The farthest main network tower for Sunset is KSTU (Fox), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

  2. Point it toward 195° SSW, the direction of KSTU (Fox), 34 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
