Over-the-air TV in Everett

Everett is a town of about 46,100 people in Massachusetts. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 39 licensed TV transmitters: 25 full-power, 4 Class A, 9 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 35 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 23 at good or strong strength.

23 of them are within 25 miles of Everett, 10 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 6 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Providence, RI, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Providence's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 5 (WCVB-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WBZ-TV), NBC on channel 15 (WBTS-CD), Fox on channel 25 (WFXT), CW on channel 56 (WLVI), ION on channel 68 (WBPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 60 (WNEU), Univision on channel 66 (WUNI) and MeTV on channel 6.5 (WLNE-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal) and Univision (good signal). 12 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Everett

Point your antenna SW, at about 233°. The main network towers for Everett sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WLVI, WFXT, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV and WNEU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles southwest of Everett (231° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Everett

The farthest main network tower for Everett is WBTS-CD (NBC), 12 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WHDH is only 11 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.

Setting up an antenna in Everett: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 234° SW, the direction of WBTS-CD (NBC), 12 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 35 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
