Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sullivan at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Sullivan is WTHI-TV (Fox), 10 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WTWO is only 10 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.
