TV channels & antenna towers in Rossmoor, New Jersey

Rossmoor is a town of about 2,670 people in New Jersey. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 80 licensed TV transmitters: 39 full-power, 9 Class A, 28 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 40 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 20 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Rossmoor, 42 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 35 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 20 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7 (WABC-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WNBC), Fox on channel 29 (WTXF-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPHL-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 47 (WNJU), Univision on channel 65 (WUVP-DT) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 20 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 NE, at about 42°. The main network towers for Rossmoor 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 36 miles northeast of Rossmoor (43° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Rossmoor is WABC-TV (ABC), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KYW-TV (CBS), 45 miles southwest and WTXF-TV (Fox), 45 miles southwest, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 40 stations at fair strength or better, Rossmoor ranks 115th of 537 places in New Jersey: more than the typical New Jersey town (37). Its nearest major network tower is 36 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 East Brunswick, 7.0 miles away.
