4 of them are within 25 miles of East Concord, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 26 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.

Which way to point your antenna in East Concord

The main network towers around East Concord are in different directions: ABC 188° S (18 mi), CBS 167° SSE (66 mi), NBC 44° NE (59 mi) and Fox 166° SSE (67 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 66 miles south of East Concord (167° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach East Concord at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for East Concord

The farthest main network tower for East Concord is WFXT (Fox), 67 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
