Point your antenna ENE, at about 77°. The main network towers for Glasford sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WHOI, WEEK-TV and WMBD-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 14 miles east of Glasford (74° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Glasford at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Glasford is WYZZ-TV (Fox), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WICS (ABC), 56 miles south and WAND (NBC), 67 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WHOI is only 14 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.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Glasford ranks 403rd of 766 places in Illinois: fewer than the typical Illinois town (17). Its nearest major network tower is 14 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.
