Which way to point your antenna in Milford

The main network towers around Milford are in different directions: ABC 122° ESE (40 mi), CBS 122° ESE (41 mi), NBC 306° NW (23 mi) and Fox 307° NW (24 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WFFT-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles southeast of Milford (121° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Milford at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Milford

The farthest main network tower for Milford is WANE-TV (CBS), 41 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.

Setting up an antenna in Milford: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 122° ESE, the direction of WANE-TV (CBS), 41 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 14 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
