Antenna and amplifier advice for Broken Arrow
The farthest main network tower for Broken Arrow is KTUL (ABC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
KOKI-TV is only 6.5 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.
