With roughly 17,900 residents, Westerly is a town in Rhode Island. Our map shows 38 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 23 full-power, 7 Class A and 8 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Westerly, 10 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Providence, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Providence's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (fair signal). 10 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 Westerly are in different directions: ABC 39° NE (44 mi), CBS 299° WNW (58 mi), NBC 294° WNW (57 mi) and Fox 294° WNW (57 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WLNE-TV, WJAR, WRIW-CD, WPRI-TV and WNAC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles northeast of Westerly (39° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Westerly at fair strength or better, 54% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Westerly is WFSB (CBS), 58 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WLWC is only 8.4 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Westerly ranks 47th of 49 places in Rhode Island: fewer than the typical Rhode Island town (29). Its nearest major network tower is 8.4 miles away, against a state median of 14 miles.

45% of Rhode Island's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Norwich, 16 miles away.
