Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Verona at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Verona is WCAV (Fox), 32 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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Verona ranks 246th of 381 places in Virginia: fewer than the typical Virginia town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 17 miles away, against a state median of 21 miles.
