Six network stations, WFXT, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU and WCVB-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles north of Seekonk (10° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Seekonk
The farthest main network tower for Seekonk is WBTS-CD (NBC), 35 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.
WLNE-TV is only 4.7 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.
