3 of them are within 25 miles of Mattituck, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Hartford, CT, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Hartford's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Mattituck

Point your antenna NNW, at about 339°. The main network towers for Mattituck sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WRDM-CD, WVIT, WTIC-TV, WCCT-TV and WHPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles north of Mattituck (343° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mattituck at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WFSB (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Mattituck. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mattituck

The farthest main network tower for Mattituck is WFSB (CBS), 56 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.
