The farthest main network tower for Edgerton is WANE-TV (CBS), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WILX-TV (NBC), 69 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

WINM is only 2.9 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.
