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

The farthest main network tower for Fulton is KMIZ (ABC), 33 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.

KNLJ 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.
