Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles northeast of Westfield Center (26° NNE). 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 Westfield Center at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Westfield Center, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Westfield Center
The farthest main network tower for Westfield Center is WKYC (NBC), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WKBN-TV (Fox), 67 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.
