Antenna and amplifier advice for Mullins
The farthest main network tower for Mullins is WMBF-TV (NBC), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WFXB is only 4.2 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.
