WFSB (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Noank. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Noank is WFSB (CBS), 52 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.
