You should try entering your address into either or
That will tell you what stations you can receive and what direction they are in. Depending on where in LA you are, an indoor antenna may not be sufficient. You might need an outdoor antenna. Antennaweb can recommend and appropriate one. I’d always go one class better.
It looks like most of the transmitters are on Mount Wilson, so if you have a clear view of that (actually a clear line of sight, this being LA), you may be fine. Distance is everything. Pasadena will be easy (7 miles away), Redondo Beach will be more difficult (32 miles).

It depends on where you live and while the websites can give you an idea of reception, you can’t count on them. I have a friend in Altadena who receives 2 network channels and pbs and there is a very good antenna on her home. She doesn’t really watch tv so she doesn’t care. It’s like that in their neighborhood, the old people usually still have antennas. See if there are any neighbors you can ask about their reception. (They have horrible cell phone reception too. ugh)
Good luck!
