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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Andover

The farthest main network tower for Andover is WFLX (Fox), 42 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.

WPLG is only 0.1 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.

  2. Point it toward 358° N, the direction of WFLX (Fox), 42 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).
  4. Expect around 37 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
