Antenna Channels in the Baton Rouge Area

Cut the cord recently and purchased this antenna:
RCA - Antenna
On the TV Guide channel app, it says I should be able to catch more channels than I'm actually getting. Mounted it in the attic. I live in zip code 70810 and can't receive the following:
39.1 WBXH MyNetworkTV
39.2 WBXH2 Grit
39.3 WBXH3 Escape
Anyone else having trouble getting these channels? The antenna is able to receive UHF and VHF digital signals. Thanks.

That antenna looks very directional.
I went to antennaweb.org and looks like your channels towers in question are not in the same exact place as your main channels.

I'm using a ClearStream2V and I can catch those channels only if it's placed outside and not in the attic. I'm in 70764 which is 30 minutes south of Baton Rouge. Placing it outside and/or at a higher elevation might do the trick?

This appears to be the problem. Went up in the attic and rotated it. The channels are coming in clear now. Any recs on a multi directional antenna? Might take a ride to Best Buy today.

The Clearstream 4v is really solid. I bought it for my dad in rural Ohio (lots of hills and trees). He was able to get all channels about 35 miles from tower. It's still somewhat directional but it seemed to cover a larger area than that RCA one. Best Buy has an easy return policy, I recommend really just trying a few.. maybe a cheaper one does the trick in your area. You never know!
