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

The farthest main network tower for Richmond Hill is WJCL (ABC), 8.5 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WTGS is only 7.8 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.
