Point your antenna SSE, at about 163°. The main network towers for Olivette sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KDNL-TV and KSDK, transmit from the same tower site about 6.4 miles southeast of Olivette (157° SSE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Olivette at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Olivette is KMOV (CBS), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

K25NG-D is only 1.5 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.
