All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Port Richey, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Port Richey is WTVT (Fox), 43 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.

WZRA-CD is only 1.0 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
