It sounds to be a matter of only the strongest channels overcoming whatever problem is sapping your signal and more channels will join the list, as the problem worsens.
Antennas really don't wear out, unless the rivets are extremely rusty, or loose.Replacing any coax, baluns, or splitters, is good advice.
You may want to use penetrating oil and a wire brush on the wing nut terminals.
If they are rusty, be careful not to snap them off.
