Five network stations, WRDM-CD, WVIT, WTIC-TV, WCCT-TV and WHPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles east of Sherman (76° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sherman at fair strength or better, 54% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Sherman is WFSB (CBS), 38 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.

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 28 stations at fair strength or better, Sherman ranks 67th of 183 places in Connecticut: more than the typical Connecticut town (26). Its nearest major network tower is 30 miles away, against a state median of 15 miles.
