TV channels & antenna towers in Spokane, Washington

With roughly 213,000 residents, Spokane is a city in Washington. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 32 licensed TV transmitters: 9 full-power, 7 low-power and 16 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 12 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Spokane is a broadcast hub in its own right: six of the 6 network stations in range are licensed here.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 4 (KXLY-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KREM), NBC on channel 6 (KHQ-TV), Fox on channel 28 (KAYU-TV), CW on channel 22 (KSKN) and ION on channel 34 (KGPX-TV). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Spokane are in different directions: ABC 39° NE (23 mi), CBS 127° SE (7.5 mi), NBC 131° SE (8.2 mi) and Fox 132° SE (8.3 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, KREM, KSKN, KGPX-TV, KHQ-TV and KAYU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 7.5 miles southeast of Spokane (127° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Spokane at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Spokane is KXLY-TV (ABC), 23 miles away with a fair 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.

KREM is only 7.5 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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Spokane ranks 278th of 398 places in Washington: fewer than the typical Washington town (17). Its nearest major network tower is 7.5 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.

60% of Washington's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna.
