It's not as easy as you might think. I'm familiar with the area. You're on the downhill side of the Niagara Escarpment.
WKBW will be the hardest to pick up with a NM of 4.5. That's difficult to make reliable with an attic antenna.
The other hardship with Niagara County is multiple directions for Grand Island towers, vs the Colden transmitters, and the possibility of Canadian TV. (Note that CBLT (CBC) on channel 20 is not listed in the TVFool database.)
The UHF only antenna that will give the greatest flexibility is the DB8e. It has panels that can be splayed in two directions. If you used that for the Buffalo stations, you could add CTV on channel 9 with a second VHF only antenna (Y5-7-13) aimed at Toronto and a third VHF only antenna (Y10-7-13) aimed at CHEX in Peterborough for CBC. Couple the VHF antennas together with a Jointenna for channel 12 and then add the UHF and VHF antenna pair with a TVPRAMP-1R preamplifier.
If you want all the Canadian stations along with the US, consider a 7-51 antenna plus a rotator.
