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

The farthest main network tower for Stanleytown is WSLS-TV (NBC), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WXLV-TV (ABC), 61 miles south and WGHP (Fox), 65 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.
