Point your antenna E, at about 86°. The main network towers for North Brookfield 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 43 miles east of North Brookfield (86° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 23 full-power and Class A network signals that reach North Brookfield at fair strength or better, 35% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for North Brookfield

The farthest main network tower for North Brookfield is WFXT (Fox), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WVIT (NBC), 55 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.
