Antenna and amplifier advice for Mount Laurel

The farthest main network tower for Mount Laurel is KYW-TV (CBS), 20 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.

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.
