Hello and welcome!
Have you checked the aim of your current antenna? I'm just wondering if it's currently aimed at KETG (south-east) and not optimally aimed at the Little Rock transmitters (north-east). If your current antenna has decent gain and is on the roof, I would expect it to get more of the Little Rock stations than what you're seeing.

Will the above Channel Master antenna get ABC(7.1), NBC(4.1), CBS(11.1), & Fox(16.1) affiliates out of Little Rock, AR?

The channels lower on the list (KATV, ABC) might be marginal, but if your coax is not that long and you only feed one TV, then my initial estimate is that it should work.
If you have a long coax run or split the signal to multiple rooms, then you may need to add a pre-amp to compensate for the signal drops. Some good pre-amps to consider are the Antennacraft 10G202, Winegard 8275, or Channel Master 7777.
The CM 3020 is a full band VHF and UHF antenna. You can get a narrower antenna that only supports channels 7-69 (since you have nothing in the 2-6 range) like the Antennacraft HBU-55 or Winegard HD7698P. The narrower antennas will put less wind loading stress on the mast, in case that matters in your area.
You can probably eek out a little bit more performance (better reliability, fewer video glitches) by going with separate UHF and VHF antennas, but that means having a little more hardware on the roof. If that sounds like something you're willing to consider, then please let us know.
