The best TV antenna for Fort Smith-Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers

Get an antenna rated for both VHF and UHF. For most homes an attic or outdoor antenna is the safe choice; by our estimate an indoor one is likely enough for only about 7% of people.

  • 1 channels reach ordinary TVs only on VHF (KAFT), and many flat indoor antennas are weak on VHF.
  • The towers are spread out, so a wide-beam (multi-directional) antenna is safer than a narrow directional one.
