I also have a Roku that will give you a lot of the channels streaming (like the Weather Channel, Fox News, CNN, ESPN, SECN plus a couple other regional sports networks, and many more) assuming you already subscribe on cable or satellite.

I have an antenna in my attic for locals, but depending on where you live and the terrain and trees, modern-day rabbit ears might work quite well (I'm down in a little valley with lots of trees, both of which have a negative effect on picking up digital television). I think Consumer Reports likes the Leaf antenna. Amazon is a good place to buy them, or locally a store like Best Buy. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=leaf+ante...cceptance_3_12

Regarding WHNT - at one time, they were owned by the New York Times. Don't know if that's still the case, but it could be an reason for their anti-police stand (if in fact that's the case - I rarely watch).

Here's a good site that will help you in choosing an antenna based on your location: https://www.antennaweb.org
New York Times then
Local TV LLC (privately owned company) then
Chicago Tribune's broadcasting division then
Nexstar (since ~2019) at present.
