Four network stations, WAGA-TV, WUPA, WUVG-DT and WPCH-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles northwest of Covington (297° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Covington at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Covington is WUPA (CBS), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
