TV channels & antenna towers in Elbridge, New York

With roughly 1,040 residents, Elbridge is a small community in New York. Our map shows 47 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 21 full-power, 9 Class A, 15 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 18 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 26 farther out. Five of the 15 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 10 (WHEC-TV), Fox on channel 68 (WSYT), CW on channel 3.2 (WSTM-TV) and ION on channel 56 (WSPX-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 ESE, at about 115°. The main network towers for Elbridge 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 18 miles east of Elbridge (110° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Elbridge at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Elbridge is WSYR-TV (ABC), 22 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHEC-TV (NBC), 58 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.
