TV channels & antenna towers in Hebron, Maine

With roughly 1,100 residents, Hebron is a small community in Maine. Our map shows 14 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 9 full-power, 2 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 7 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 3 farther out. Three of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Portland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Portland's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 8 (WMTW), NBC on channel 6 (WCSH), Fox on channel 13.2 (WGME-TV), CW on channel 51 (WPXT) and ION on channel 35 (WIPL). No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WCAX-TV in Burlington, VT, 121 miles to the west. 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSW, at about 207°. The main network towers for Hebron sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WIPL, WPXT and WMTW, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles southwest of Hebron (216° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hebron at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Hebron is WMTW (ABC), 30 miles away with a fair 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 7 stations at fair strength or better, Hebron ranks 132nd of 256 places in Maine: fewer than the typical Maine town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 28 miles.
