Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenfield
The farthest main network tower for Greenfield is WISN-TV (ABC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WTMJ-TV is only 11 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.
