Which way to point your antenna in Finderne

Point your antenna ENE, at about 69°. The main network towers for Finderne sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WCBS-TV, WNYW, WNBC, WNJU and WPXN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles east of Finderne (71° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 19 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Finderne at fair strength or better, 47% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Finderne

The farthest main network tower for Finderne is WABC-TV (ABC), 34 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTXF-TV (Fox), 50 miles southwest, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.
