TV channels & antenna towers in Greenville, Rhode Island

Greenville is a town of about 8,660 people in Rhode Island. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 59 licensed TV transmitters: 35 full-power, 8 Class A, 15 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 38 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 21 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Greenville, 27 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 23 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 29 network stations in range are licensed to Springfield, MA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Springfield's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 10.2 (WJAR), CBS on channel 4 (WBZ-TV), NBC on channel 30 (WVIT), Fox on channel 25 (WFXT), CW on channel 56 (WLVI), ION on channel 69 (WPXQ-TV), Telemundo on channel 60 (WNEU), Univision on channel 66 (WUNI) and MeTV on channel 6.5 (WLNE-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 15 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Greenville are in different directions: ABC 92° E (14 mi), CBS 28° NNE (34 mi) and Fox 30° NNE (34 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, WBTS-CD, WBZ-TV, WNEU, WCVB-TV and WFXT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles northeast of Greenville (28° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 21 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenville at fair strength or better, 29% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across five other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Greenville is WFXT (Fox), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WVIT (NBC), 67 miles west, 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.

WLNE-TV is only 14 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.

With 38 stations at fair strength or better, Greenville ranks 1st of 49 places in Rhode Island: more than the typical Rhode Island town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 13 miles away, against a state median of 14 miles.

55% of Rhode Island's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Smithfield, 3.5 miles away.
