Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Grand Mound at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KOMO-TV (ABC), KIRO-TV (CBS) and KING-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Grand Mound. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Grand Mound is KING-TV (NBC), 66 miles away with a weak 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.

With 8 stations at fair strength or better, Grand Mound ranks 317th of 398 places in Washington: fewer than the typical Washington town (17). Its nearest major network tower is 53 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.
