Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Malone at fair strength or better, 29% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across four other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Malone, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Malone
The farthest main network tower for Malone is WJHG-TV (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WFSU-TV (PBS), 53 miles southeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Malone: step by step
- Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
- Point it toward 198° SSW, the direction of WJHG-TV (NBC), 44 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
