Over-the-air TV in Endicott

With roughly 13,000 residents, Endicott is a city in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 54 licensed TV transmitters: 23 full-power, 9 Class A, 14 low-power and 8 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.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 8 between 25 and 45 miles, and 41 farther out. Five of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Syracuse, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Syracuse's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 34 (WIVT), CBS on channel 15 (WKOF), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 40 (WICZ-TV), CW on channel 12.2 (WBNG-TV) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 6 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 Endicott

Point your antenna ESE, at about 117°. The main network towers for Endicott sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WBNG-TV, WIVT, WBGH-CD and WICZ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 5.7 miles southeast of Endicott (119° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Endicott at fair strength or better, 35% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Endicott

The farthest main network tower for Endicott is WICZ-TV (Fox), 6.1 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKOF (CBS), 59 miles north and WBRE-TV (NBC), 64 miles south, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WIVT is only 6.0 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.

Setting up an antenna in Endicott: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 118° ESE, the direction of WICZ-TV (Fox), 6.1 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).
  4. Expect around 22 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
