Point your antenna NE, at about 47°. The main network towers for North Judson sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WNDU-TV and WSBT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles northeast of North Judson (47° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach North Judson at fair strength or better, 75% 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 North Judson, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for North Judson is WSBT-TV (Fox), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLS-TV (ABC), 64 miles northwest and WBBM-TV (CBS), 64 miles northwest, 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.

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.
