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

The farthest main network tower for Guilford is WFSB (CBS), 34 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.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Guilford ranks 162nd of 183 places in Connecticut: fewer than the typical Connecticut town (26). Its nearest major network tower is 17 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.
