Over-the-air TV in Concord

With roughly 42,600 residents, Concord is a city in New Hampshire. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 24 full-power, 2 Class A, 8 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of Concord, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Boston, MA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Boston's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 5 (WCVB-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WBZ-TV), NBC on channel 6 (WCSH), Fox on channel 25 (WFXT), CW on channel 51 (WPXT), ION on channel 21 (WPXG-TV), Telemundo on channel 60 (WNEU) and Univision on channel 66 (WUNI). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (fair signal). 11 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Concord

The main network towers around Concord are in different directions: ABC 166° SSE (64 mi), CBS 166° SSE (64 mi), NBC 42° NE (61 mi) and Fox 165° SSE (65 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WLVI and others, transmit from the same tower site about 64 miles south of Concord (166° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Concord at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WCVB-TV (ABC), WBZ-TV (CBS) and WFXT (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Concord. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Concord

The farthest main network tower for Concord is WFXT (Fox), 65 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Concord: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 165° SSE, the direction of WFXT (Fox), 65 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 22 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
