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

The farthest main network tower for Cromwell is WGGB-TV (ABC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WRDM-CD is only 12 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 26 stations at fair strength or better, Cromwell ranks 82nd of 183 places in Connecticut: the same as the typical Connecticut town (26). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.
