The farthest main network tower for Farrell is WKBN-TV (Fox), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

KDKA-TV (CBS), 56 miles southeast and WPXI (NBC), 58 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WFMJ-TV is only 12 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.
