TV channels & antenna towers in Washington, Vermont

With roughly 1,040 residents, Washington is a small community in Vermont. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 13 licensed TV transmitters: 8 full-power, 2 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Washington, 10 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 3 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 5 network stations in range are licensed to Burlington, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Burlington's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 22 (WVNY), CBS on channel 3 (WCAX-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WPTZ), Fox on channel 44 (WFFF-TV) and CW on channel 31 (WNNE). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NNW, at about 327°. The main network towers for Washington sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WPTZ, WNNE, WCAX-TV, WFFF-TV and WVNY, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles northwest of Washington (327° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Washington at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Washington is WFFF-TV (Fox), 35 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.

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.

With 9 stations at fair strength or better, Washington ranks 11th of 82 places in Vermont: more than the typical Vermont town (8). Its nearest major network tower is 35 miles away, against a state median of 40 miles.

54% of Vermont's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Burlington, 46 miles away.
