How well antenna TV works around North Platte
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 North Platte market; about 91% need an attic or roof antenna, and for about 9% reception depends on the exact spot. A typical home gets about 10 free channels from 7 stations, some from neighbouring markets.
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 North Platte
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.
- 8 channels reach ordinary TVs only on VHF (KNOP-TV, KPNE-TV, KIIT-CD), 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.
