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

The farthest main network tower for Southampton is WVIT (NBC), 37 miles away with a good 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.

WGGB-TV is only 4.3 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.
