You can find out what networks are being transmitted by the Tv stations by typing the Tv station call signs like this --> kfdx tv , in the google search box.
Sometimes it is wise to obtain stations from a secondary market even if it means replicating the existing network lineup. Often times programming can be pre empted for a sporting event on the local network station and if the regular program is important to the viewer, having the option to watch it on a secondary market network station is important.

Also, sub channels vary from market to market. One network station in one market won't necessarily have the same sub channel lineup as the other.

To the OP. Go to Wikipedia and put in the call letters of each station in your primary and secondary markets and see which stations you really will watch and if their sub channels have stations that interest you. Then you can best decide if you need the bigger antenna to obtain the secondary market signals.
