Antenna and amplifier advice for Whitney
The farthest main network tower for Whitney is KTNV-TV (ABC), 11 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KBLR is only 6.4 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.
