What Kind of Antenna?

While many people have the “cheapie” inside antennas, these are far from what you want for optimum reception and enjoyable performance. They will pick up the strongest signals, but there’s much more out there you can get with the proper approach.
 

1. Try your best to get your tv antenna outside and high for maximum reception (you may even pick up more channels!)

2. Get an antenna that has good UHF AND VHF elements. (This is imperative as many are only UHF!)

3. For more great information on good antennas and other tips check out “The Antenna Man” on YouTube.

No Antenna? Watch Online!

If you don’t have an antenna or a cable provider, you can still get all the great content WBON-TV has to offer online!

WBON-TV streams its primary channel’s programming on its Live Player on the website under the “Watch Live” tab, as well as on the WBON-TV ROKU Channel.

Additionally, WBON-TV broadcasts select livestreams on its Facebook and YouTube pages.
