Based on the information posted at rabbitears, WKOB does not currently carry RTV.
Per wikipedia WKOB terminated their affiliation with RTV September 26, 2011.

@ gossamer, Reviewing the thread from June of this year, my recommendation (and the similar recommendation made by John Candle) was to use an all channel antenna. The HD7694P is not an all channel antenna. It is not designed to assure reception of real channels 2 through 6. However, as noted above, WKOB's termination of RTV affiliation makes the issue mute unless the other programming carried by WKOB is of interest to you. Thanks to Dave Loudin and MisterMe for researching WSAH. Reception of WSAH may be possible, I would suggest that you test conditions by aiming your existing antenna at 78° compass. I expect reliable reception will ultimately require an antenna dedicated to that one weak signal. I would opt for an Antennas Direct XG-91 and their CPA-19 preamp. I would also anticipate the potential need for a tower or guyed mast.

I stand by my observation that viewers in the vicinity of NYC have many easy to receive OTA DTV signals and that antenna selection and installation is made easier when the majority of stations broadcast from a common location.

@ Electron, AKA John Candle, AKA Teleview, A review of the OP's earlier thread shows polite agreement regarding the recommendation of an all channel antenna. No one harassed you or even disagreed with you. But as of late, many have wearied of your Narcissism.
