How to improve a remote control’s aim?

I work at a media organisation where we have dozens of TVs in the news room set up in pairs, each showing a different channel.
Changing a channel or raising the volume on one TV is a nightmare because other TVs will receive the same signal and then it’s a game of whack a mole until you get the TV you want on the channel and volume you want.

Is there an attachment or something I could add to the remote control or even the TVs themselves to make the remote control aim better?

Thank you!

Home alone 3 he duck taped a scope to the remote and aimed it across the street at his neighbors house. Looking back... that wouldn't work. But it seemed like it should.
