5 of them are within 25 miles of Montville Center, 18 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Springfield, MA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Springfield's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 10.2 (WJAR), CBS on channel 3 (WFSB), NBC on channel 30 (WVIT), Fox on channel 61 (WTIC-TV), CW on channel 20 (WCCT-TV), ION on channel 69 (WPXQ-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WRDM-CD), Univision on channel 18 (WUVN) and MeTV on channel 6.5 (WLNE-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (fair signal). 11 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna WNW, at about 296°. The main network towers for Montville Center sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WRDM-CD, WVIT, WTIC-TV, WCCT-TV and WHPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles northwest of Montville Center (294° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Montville Center at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Montville Center is WFSB (CBS), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJAR (ABC), 52 miles northeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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 22 stations at fair strength or better, Montville Center ranks 148th of 183 places in Connecticut: fewer than the typical Connecticut town (26). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.
