All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Provo, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Provo is KSTU (Fox), 41 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.

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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Provo ranks 97th of 180 places in Utah: fewer than the typical Utah town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.
