Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Saint Andrews at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Saint Andrews, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Saint Andrews
The farthest main network tower for Saint Andrews is WACH (Fox), 21 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WAGT-CD (NBC), 60 miles southwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
WZRB is only 7.6 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.

- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
- Point it toward 77° ENE, the direction of WACH (Fox), 21 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
