Broadcast Boston is a guide to the free TV and radio you can pick up over the air in Greater Boston. It lists the local stations with the facts the FCC keeps on each one, and it explains the practical side: which antenna to buy, where to put it, how to get the local news without cable and where to hear the games.
Station facts come from the FCC’s Public Inspection File: the channel your TV shows, the RF channel the station transmits on, the town its license names and who holds the license. Rules come from the Code of Federal Regulations, weather radio details from NOAA and the National Weather Service, and safety advice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. What a station plays or calls itself comes from its own website.
We are not a station, a network or an installer, and nobody pays to be listed. The station tuner on this site runs in your browser and only shows the published facts above.
Channels, frequencies and line-ups change. If a station disappears from your TV, rescan first, and check the station’s own site for news about its signal.
