Examples of HDTV problems here. In Cleveland you only want to cover the city but not lake Erie ! So odds are most the power goes to the S & SW.

AM radio has great examples. WBZ Boston & IIRC WWL Nawlins were granted clear channels ( 50 Kw non directional) in the 30's but also were allowed to be directional so as not to waste power over oceans. Thats why WBZ could be heard in most the country winter nights.
Canada stations would build very highly directional systems south
of the cities & slam the city with power while protecting US stations.
Torontos CFTR 680 can not be heard in the Boston area. We get a local
plus Binghamton N.Y., Baltimore, Raleigh, N.C.
Only when the antenna has "problems" can we hear it & it crushes us
with a needle pinning signal.........

Your new Zenith dont look that bad. You should of see the junk people would watch in the olden days. Like I have said turn off the lights & turn everything down. That can make a HUGE difference !
