TV channels & antenna towers in Centerport, New York

Centerport is a town of about 5,460 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 39 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 8 Class A, 13 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 16 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 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 10 (WHEC-TV), 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.

Point your antenna ESE, at about 109°. The main network towers for Centerport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSTM-TV and WKOF, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles east of Centerport (105° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Centerport at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Centerport is WSYR-TV (ABC), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WHEC-TV (NBC), 50 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Centerport ranks 621st of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 23 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 Auburn, 7.7 miles away.
