Antenna and amplifier advice for Hanley Hills
The farthest main network tower for Hanley Hills is KMOV (CBS), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KDNL-TV is only 7.3 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.
