Antenna web doesn't like to display stations 60 miles away, not even if you 
tell it your antenna is on a tower.

But you could use a zip code from the city where the transmitters are, that 
should tell you what stations are available and what actual frequencies they 
transmit on. 

If it's all UHF you might think about building a DB8, or two of them aimed at 
the two cities. Or buy a DB8 or HiVHF+UHF antenna like this:

Unfortunately, the famous Channel Master 4228 has been replaced by the infamous 
Chinese made 4228. They say that with extensive modifications the new one can 
work better than the old one did, but I'm not going to pay $100 for an antenna 
so I can rebuild it. 

If there's VHF involved, think about buying the sort of deep fringe antenna we 
saw when we were kids, and get the best one you can get. For me, the old 
channel 8 is now transmitting on channel 7, and channel 3 is transmitting on 
channel 2. Everything else (including channel 10, which is nearby and powerful) 
I can get with a UHF bowtie, but those two require a VHF antenna like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-CM-3020-Range-Antenna/dp/B000BSGCSA

And at the range you're talking about, an amplifier would do some good. Best to 
get one with the amp on the antenna and the power supply indoors.
