Which way to point your antenna in Woodbridge

Point your antenna NNE, at about 23°. The main network towers for Woodbridge 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 26 miles north of Woodbridge (21° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Woodbridge at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Woodbridge

The farthest main network tower for Woodbridge is WFSB (CBS), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

  2. Point it toward 20° NNE, the direction of WFSB (CBS), 31 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
