Over-the-air TV in Cazenovia

With roughly 2,860 residents, Cazenovia is a town in New York. Our map shows 35 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 17 full-power, 8 Class A, 8 low-power and 2 translators. 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.

By distance, 16 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 10 farther out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Syracuse, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Syracuse's stations.

For the networks, the best local options 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 3.2 (WSTM-TV) and ION on channel 56 (WSPX-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Cazenovia

Point your antenna W, at about 270°. The main network towers for Cazenovia sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSPX-TV and WSYR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 8.7 miles west of Cazenovia (277° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cazenovia at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cazenovia

The farthest main network tower for Cazenovia is WSYT (Fox), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKTV (NBC), 48 miles east, 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.

WKOF is only 13 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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 259° W, the direction of WSYT (Fox), 18 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
