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

The farthest main network tower for Marlborough is KMOV (CBS), 3.5 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KSDK is only 0.3 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.
