The farthest main network tower for Valley Falls is WBTS-CD (NBC), 29 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WLNE-TV is only 6.1 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 31 stations at fair strength or better, Valley Falls ranks 15th of 49 places in Rhode Island: more than the typical Rhode Island town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 5.5 miles away, against a state median of 14 miles.
