2 of them are within 25 miles of South Berwick, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 28 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Boston, MA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Boston's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 8 (WMTW), CBS on channel 4 (WBZ-TV), NBC on channel 6 (WCSH), Fox on channel 13.2 (WGME-TV), CW on channel 51 (WPXT), ION on channel 21 (WPXG-TV), Telemundo on channel 60 (WNEU) and Univision on channel 66 (WUNI). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 11 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 N, at about 5°. The main network towers for South Berwick 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 42 miles north of South Berwick (3° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach South Berwick at fair strength or better, 56% 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 South Berwick, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for South Berwick is WCSH (NBC), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WBZ-TV (CBS), 67 miles south and WGME-TV (Fox), 50 miles north, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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 15 stations at fair strength or better, South Berwick ranks 6th of 256 places in Maine: more than the typical Maine town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 26 miles away, against a state median of 28 miles.

41% of Maine's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Dover, 4.1 miles away.
