Howdy neighbor! Looks like you're a little ways north of me somewhat.

Well, first thing, if you're getting cable over that coax, you've got problems. Your antenna needs a free coax for it's own exclusive use. There's no sharing with cable. You're just going to have interference among other issues. You'll want a clean drop from the antenna to your distribution point with as few breaks as possible. We have some analog signal out there, but most are religious offerings; no CNN/ESPN/etc.

As for aim, you can easily split those two clusters with an ANT-751 or similar and get good signal strength. I am further away from them, south of you basically, and I split them w/o issue using a Winegard 7694p. WUNG is my weakest but 99% of the time it's solid. As for WNSC, that's coming at an angle that won't be optimal for reception. I once used a 2nd antenna and a jointenna to bring that one in reliably.
Set your TV to antenna and rescan once setup and see how you do.

(EDIT: DOH - I totally missed that you said you had a DB4e. I don't know that it's optimal for you, but if you have it on hand, it's easy enough to see if it does the job. WTVI is VHF Hi, and the DB4e is UHF in design. At worst, you could add a VHF only antenna and join using a UVSJ but that may not be necessary. And again, not sure how well you'll get WNSC. But again, only one sure way to tell - hook it up.)
