TV channels & antenna towers in Camden, New York

Camden is a small community of about 2,200 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 32 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 7 Class A, 10 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 27 between 25 and 45 miles, and 4 farther out. Five of the 12 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 9 (WSYR-TV), CBS on channel 15 (WKOF), NBC on channel 2 (WKTV), Fox on channel 68 (WSYT), CW on channel 33.2 (WFXV) and ION on channel 56 (WSPX-TV). 4 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Camden are in different directions: ABC 207° SSW (30 mi), CBS 215° SW (33 mi), NBC 111° ESE (44 mi) and Fox 216° SW (39 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WSPX-TV and WSYR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles southwest of Camden (207° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Camden at fair strength or better, 50% 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 Camden, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Camden is WKTV (NBC), 44 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.

With 23 stations at fair strength or better, Camden ranks 494th of 1,012 places in New York: the same as the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 30 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

42% of New York's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Rome, 17 miles away.
