Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Littleton at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.
WGME-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Littleton. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Littleton
The farthest main network tower for Littleton is WGME-TV (Fox), 69 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.
WLED-TV is only 3.6 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.

- Point it toward 112° ESE, the direction of WGME-TV (Fox), 69 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 12 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.
