Antenna and amplifier advice for Forest Park
The farthest main network tower for Forest Park is KWTV-DT (CBS), 6.9 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KOKH-TV is only 3.9 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.
