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

The farthest main network tower for Jennings is KTVI (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

KDNL-TV 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.
