Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

5 of them are within 25 miles of Apalachin, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 40 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Syracuse, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Syracuse's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 34 (WIVT), CBS on channel 15 (WKOF), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 40 (WICZ-TV), CW on channel 12.2 (WBNG-TV) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 6 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 E, at about 94°. The main network towers for Apalachin sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WBNG-TV, WICZ-TV, WIVT and WBGH-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 10 miles east of Apalachin (94° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Apalachin at fair strength or better, 29% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Apalachin is WIVT (ABC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKOF (CBS), 61 miles north and WBRE-TV (NBC), 63 miles south, 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.

WIVT is only 11 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
