All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Collinsville, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Collinsville is WGGB-TV (ABC), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WFSB is only 6.5 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 22 stations at fair strength or better, Collinsville ranks 148th of 183 places in Connecticut: fewer than the typical Connecticut town (26). Its nearest major network tower is 6.5 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.

73% of Connecticut's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Farmington, 7.9 miles away.
