Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 34 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 20 at good or strong strength.

32 of them are within 25 miles of Medway, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 14 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 23 network stations in range are licensed to Springfield, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Springfield's stations.

Point your antenna NE, at about 36°. The main network towers for Medway 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 WFXT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 14 miles northeast of Medway (35° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Medway is WFXT (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WBZ-TV is only 14 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.

With 34 stations at fair strength or better, Medway ranks 65th of 390 places in Massachusetts: more than the typical Massachusetts town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 14 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.
