Two network stations, KPLR-TV and KTVI, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles east of Marthasville (100° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Marthasville at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Marthasville is KMOV (CBS), 42 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.
