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

The farthest main network tower for Pullman is KHQ-TV (NBC), 59 miles away with a good 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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Pullman ranks 266th of 398 places in Washington: fewer than the typical Washington town (17). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.
