Areas with little or no OTA TV stations

The DTV transition has probably expanded this problem, a lot of these are flat but underpopulated

Do you mean areas which have no luck receiving digital TV stations? I know Kirksville, MO has a TV station licensed to it. That would be KTVO-TV (ABC) channel 3. KTVO-TV 3-2 is CBS.

Parts of Northcentral Arkansas can only get PBS OTA (via KEMV) because of the distance between Jonesboro AR, Little Rock AR,
and Springfield MO plus mountain terrain.  Also parts of Westcentral AR (Mena)that lie between LR, Fort Smith, and Shreveport since KFSM installed their digital transmitter closer to the more populated Fayetteville-Springdale AR areas.

In Narrowsburg, NY, one cannot pick up ANYTHING on an antenna. In 1982, it was cable or bust!

In Southeastern Kentucky WYMT-CBS can be picked up over the air as well as a couple of KET stations and one or two religious stations.   All of these are with basically a roof top antenna.  If you live on top of a mountain or want to run several thousand feet of line and install an antenna on top of a mountain you can generally burn it up on OTA stations.

About anywhere in the Florida Keys 15 miles east of Key West to Islamorada (about a 65 mile stretch) depends on a good outdoor antenna, I'd say.  And the two Key West stations, despite 4-letter official calls, behave like LPTVs.

There's an LD in the middle to upper Keys that has no audio, just video....There may be something in Marathon, but it's like the Key West stations.

(It's fun to DX there, tho'!  One can be better off seeing a signal from Cuba in parts, maybe!)

I used to live in Marathon in the Florida Keys, that was before Key West got a couple of TV stations, but I doubt you could pick up anything in Marathon or most of the Keys outside of Key West and a few miles south of Homestead.

The former WETV 13 in Key West had a full power signal that I think reached to about Mile Marker 65, using a whip antenna on my portable TV in the car.  It shared time with TV Marti.

I always thought that Paradise Valley, NV would make a good place for a DBS Locals waiver.

Also, there is a possibility of losing all the TV translators in Elko, NV...this would only leave the one local station, which is a satellite of another NBC station. Right now, they have a mix of several stations from SLC and Las Vegas (IIRC), but talk about taking them down and making everybody go DBS.
