TV channels & antenna towers in Chittenango, New York

With roughly 4,890 residents, Chittenango is a town in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 38 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 9 Class A, 9 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 10 at good or strong strength.

16 of them are within 25 miles of Chittenango, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 16 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 33.2 (WFXV) 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 SW, at about 236°. The main network towers for Chittenango 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 11 miles southwest of Chittenango (229° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Chittenango at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Chittenango is WSYT (Fox), 20 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKTV (NBC), 47 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 14 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.

With 22 stations at fair strength or better, Chittenango ranks 521st of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 11 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.
