Which way to point your antenna in Westfield

Point your antenna SSW, at about 201°. The main network towers for Westfield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WHMB-TV, WISH-TV, WXIN and WTTK, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles south of Westfield (202° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Westfield at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Westfield

The farthest main network tower for Westfield is WXIN (Fox), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WFYI is only 11 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.

Setting up an antenna in Westfield: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 200° SSW, the direction of WXIN (Fox), 11 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 24 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.
