The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 9 (WSYR-TV), CBS on channel 15 (WKOF), NBC on channel 2 (WKTV), Fox on channel 68 (WSYT), CW on channel 33.2 (WFXV) and ION on channel 56 (WSPX-TV). 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSW, at about 203°. The main network towers for Bridgeport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSPX-TV and WSYR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles south of Bridgeport (191° S). 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 Bridgeport at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Bridgeport is WSYT (Fox), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKTV (NBC), 52 miles east, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.
