Over-the-air TV in Weare

With roughly 8,580 residents, Weare is a town in New Hampshire. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 2 Class A, 9 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Four of the 10 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 15 (WBTS-CD), Fox on channel 25 (WFXT), CW on channel 56 (WLVI), 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 (good 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 Weare

Point your antenna SSE, at about 155°. The main network towers for Weare 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 60 miles southeast of Weare (155° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Weare at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Weare

The farthest main network tower for Weare is WFXT (Fox), 61 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 Weare: 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 154° SSE, the direction of WFXT (Fox), 61 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 19 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.
