Which way to point your antenna in Prosser

Point your antenna ESE, at about 103°. The main network towers for Prosser sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, KNDO, KIMA-TV, KUNW-CD and KDHW-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles northwest of Prosser (303° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Prosser at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Prosser

The farthest main network tower for Prosser is KNDU (NBC), 31 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.

Setting up an antenna in Prosser: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 103° ESE, the direction of KNDU (NBC), 31 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).
  4. Expect around 16 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
