Antenna and amplifier advice for Newtown Grant
The farthest main network tower for Newtown Grant is KYW-TV (CBS), 21 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.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
