You'll pickup the CBS affiliate (which used to be based out of Bloomington) with one of those antennas, WTIU as well, as well as a few other stations, but none of the other big name stations.

You'll need a VHF capable antenna to pull in WTHI, because channel 10 is VHF.

To start with something small, I'd recommend the Winegard 7694p.

If you want something strong, either the:

Let me know if you'd like roof mounting instructions.

The one you linked is HD7694P (45 miles, I worry that this may not be strong enough), did you mean to link https://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD7698P-HDTV-High-Antenna/dp/B001DFTGRY Either way thanks for the info, I just wanted to make sure
