Antenna and amplifier advice for Leo-Cedarville
The farthest main network tower for Leo-Cedarville is WANE-TV (CBS), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WNDU-TV (NBC), 68 miles northwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
WISE-TV is only 12 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.
