Five network stations, WTAT-TV, WCIV, WCBD-TV, WGWG and WCSC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles southeast of Holly Hill (122° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Holly Hill

The farthest main network tower for Holly Hill is WCSC-TV (CBS), 50 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
