Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles southeast of Pepperell (144° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pepperell at fair strength or better, 46% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Pepperell is WFXT (Fox), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 25 stations at fair strength or better, Pepperell ranks 268th of 390 places in Massachusetts: fewer than the typical Massachusetts town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.
