Over-the-air TV in Hubbardston

Hubbardston, Massachusetts has a population of about 3,980. Our map shows 69 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 40 full-power, 8 Class A, 17 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 29 between 25 and 45 miles, and 39 farther out. Six of the 31 network stations in range are licensed to Springfield, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Springfield's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 5 (WCVB-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WBZ-TV), NBC on channel 30 (WVIT), 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 (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 18 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 Hubbardston

Point your antenna ESE, at about 106°. The main network towers for Hubbardston sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles east of Hubbardston (106° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hubbardston at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Hubbardston

The farthest main network tower for Hubbardston is WFXT (Fox), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WVIT (NBC), 68 miles southwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Hubbardston: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 106° ESE, the direction of WFXT (Fox), 42 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 30 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.
