Antenna and amplifier advice for Holliday
The farthest main network tower for Holliday is KSWO-TV (ABC), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KFDX-TV is only 9.3 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.

- Point it toward 357° N, the direction of KSWO-TV (ABC), 28 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).
