Landing is a town of about 6,440 people in New Jersey. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 94 licensed TV transmitters: 43 full-power, 12 Class A, 31 low-power and 8 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 34 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 37 between 25 and 45 miles, and 49 farther out. Six of the 26 network stations in range are licensed to New York, NY, so most of the network channels you will find here come from New York's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 2 (WCBS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WNBC), Fox on channel 5 (WNYW), CW on channel 56.2 (WOLF-TV), ION on channel 31 (WPXN-TV), Telemundo on channel 47 (WNJU), Univision on channel 41 (WXTV-DT) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 18 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 ESE, at about 111°. The main network towers for Landing 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 37 miles east of Landing (111° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Landing at fair strength or better, 53% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Landing is WNYW (Fox), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 66 miles west, 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.

With 34 stations at fair strength or better, Landing ranks 302nd of 537 places in New Jersey: fewer than the typical New Jersey town (37). Its nearest major network tower is 37 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.

50% of New Jersey's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Randolph, 5.9 miles away.
