And equally, in some parts of the country there was the issue of co-channel interference where having a decent bit of directivity was helpful to keep the Continentals from interrupting your viewing.

Some of the Band-I "H" or "X" antennas were horrible in this respect - they used a dipole-and-director, with no reflector!

Who needs a front:back ratio?
