Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 24 miles east of Clinton (108° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Clinton at fair strength or better, 53% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Clinton
The farthest main network tower for Clinton is WFXT (Fox), 25 miles away with a strong 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.
WDPX-TV is only 9.9 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.
