Antenna and amplifier advice for Jeffersonville
The farthest main network tower for Jeffersonville is WHAS-TV (ABC), 8.1 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
WDRB is only 7.9 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.
