Inside is not a good antenna location for your signals. Attic would be a little better; outside would be best.
You will need to do some experiments to see what you can get.
Try an Antennas Direct DB4e UHF antenna aimed at 32 degrees magnetic. Add a preamp if necessary.
WTVD ABC will require a VHF antenna added to the DB4e with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner, or switch to a UHF/VHF combo antenna like the Winegard HD7694P:

UVSJ:

If that doesn't work, try the attic.
If that doesn't work, move the antenna outside.
That's the best I can do without seeing a satellite view of your location. If you desire, you can give me your coordinates or address in a PM.
Interesting note: WRAL is doing ATSC 3.0 tests on real channel 39.
WRAL on 48 will move to channel 17 because of UHF Repack:

WRAZ will move to 15:

WNCN will move to VHF-High channel 8:

You will need to switch to a UHF/VHF combo antenna or add a VHF antenna to the DB4e with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner.
