Six network stations, WFXT, WLVI, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV and WNEU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles north of Easton (347° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Easton at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Easton

The farthest main network tower for Easton is WBTS-CD (NBC), 21 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.

WYCN-LD is only 2.3 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.
