How do I get the best FM radio reception?

How do I get the best FM radio reception?

The best thing for the rest of us to do is to use (or re-purpose) a TV antenna that’s already on your roof. If you still use it to receive off-air TV, then get an inexpensive TV-FM splitter. Or if you’ve switched to cable-TV or satellite-TV, then just connect your old TV connection to your FM radio.

How can I get better FM reception on my clock radio?
