How well antenna TV works around Juneau

For the big networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS) that reach each home, an indoor antenna is likely enough for about 0% of people in the Juneau market; about 17% need an attic or roof antenna, and for about 83% reception depends on the exact spot. 0

Estimates from our terrain predictions for an antenna about 30 ft up, adjusted for indoor use. They are not yet checked against real channel scans; VHF channels never count as indoor. How we work it out

The best TV antenna for Juneau

Get an antenna rated for both VHF and UHF. Most homes here need a roof antenna, aimed; by our estimate an indoor one is likely enough for only about 0% of people.

  • 13 channels reach ordinary TVs only on VHF (KTOO-TV, KUBD, KJUD, KTNL-TV), and many flat indoor antennas are weak on VHF.
  • The towers are spread out, so a wide-beam (multi-directional) antenna is safer than a narrow directional one.

Not sure about VHF Lower frequencies (RF 2–13). Needs an antenna with longer elements; many flat indoor antennas are weak here. More in the glossary and UHF Higher frequencies (RF 14–36). Most stations are here; almost any antenna picks it up. More in the glossary ? See the glossary. Any brand of the right type will do.
