The main network towers around Warsaw are in different directions: ABC 105° ESE (36 mi), CBS 106° ESE (36 mi), NBC 324° NW (31 mi) and Fox 324° NW (32 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WFFT-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles east of Warsaw (104° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Warsaw at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Warsaw

The farthest main network tower for Warsaw is WANE-TV (CBS), 36 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Warsaw: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 106° ESE, the direction of WANE-TV (CBS), 36 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 10 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
