Which way to point your antenna in Brookline

Point your antenna SE, at about 143°. The main network towers for Brookline sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles southeast of Brookline (144° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brookline at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Brookline

The farthest main network tower for Brookline is WFXT (Fox), 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.

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.

  2. Point it toward 143° SE, the direction of WFXT (Fox), 37 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
