5 of them are within 25 miles of Plympton, 24 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 7 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 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 main network towers around Plympton are in different directions: ABC 256° WSW (25 mi), CBS 319° NW (33 mi), NBC 319° NW (33 mi) and Fox 320° NW (32 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Plympton at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Plympton is WBTS-CD (NBC), 33 miles away with a fair 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.

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 30 stations at fair strength or better, Plympton ranks 166th of 390 places in Massachusetts: more than the typical Massachusetts town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 18 miles away, against a state median of 19 miles.

63% of Massachusetts's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Middleborough, 6.5 miles away.
