Five network stations, WNOL-TV, WDSU, WGNO, WVUE-DT and KGLA-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles east of New Sarpy (94° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Antenna and amplifier advice for New Sarpy

The farthest main network tower for New Sarpy is WVUE-DT (Fox), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
