Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Springville at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Springville
The farthest main network tower for Springville is WUTV (Fox), 38 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.
WKBW-TV is only 9.2 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.
