Six network stations, WLVI, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU and WCVB-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 67 miles southwest of York Beach (208° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach York Beach at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WBZ-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from York Beach. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for York Beach is WBZ-TV (CBS), 67 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, York Beach ranks 6th of 256 places in Maine: more than the typical Maine town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 36 miles away, against a state median of 28 miles.

53% of Maine's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Dover, 13 miles away.
