Springfield has it's own channels ABC-40+FOX on 40-2, NBC-22, PBS-57 and CBS-3, which is a satellite of WFSB in Hartford. We also get all the other Hartford-New Haven channels here, too, as they come up the Connecticut River Valley very well. Boston is impossible here because of a ridge of mountains in Wilbraham and Munson that cut us off to the east. Comcast gives us WBZ-4 and WSBK-38, but no WGBH, WCVB, WHDH, WFXT, WMFP or WLVI. If you go 8 miles east, on the other side of the Wilbraham mountains, Boston comes in just fine. Again, we used to see all of the Boston stations on cable here, but they cut us off a few years ago so they wouldn't have to pay the Boston TV stations their fees.

With some effort, you can see WMUR channel 9 from Manchester, and WZMY from Derry the MyTV station. The Providence stations are also available, if you want to go with a big antenna but Boston is biggest market in New England, by far, has the greatest diversity of programming, and the best local production values. Most people will be happy just getting a decent signal from the major Boston stations.
