Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Granville at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Granville

The farthest main network tower for Granville is WVIT (NBC), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
