11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles south of Connerton (158° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Connerton at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Connerton, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Connerton
The farthest main network tower for Connerton is WTVT (Fox), 37 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.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
