Am I to assume that the FM signals you mentioned would interfere with my TV signal, and that there is some type of device that would be installed to filter them out?
That is correct. They are so strong that they would most likely interfere. The device is called an FM trap or FM filter. There are 3 brands that I suggested I my previous post, MCM, Radio Shack, and Antennas Direct. You will probably need two in series to make your FM signals weak enough to avoid interference.

Also, these two antenna models that you suggested, should they be mounted in a certain direction facing either north or south, or are they multi-directional?
They are both directional. Either one should work, but I favor the 7694. Your antenna needs to be aimed directly at the transmitters; think of a searchlight vs a flood light. I suggest 201 degrees magnetic for the best results with WKRC CBS.
