TV channels & antenna towers in Fredonia, New York

With roughly 10,700 residents, Fredonia is a city in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 25 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 2 Class A and 8 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Fredonia, 11 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Buffalo, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Buffalo's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7 (WKBW-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WIVB-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WGRZ), Fox on channel 29 (WUTV), CW on channel 23 (WNLO), ION on channel 51 (WPXJ-TV) and MeTV on channel 67.3 (WBBZ-TV). 4 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 ENE, at about 67°. The main network towers for Fredonia sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKBW-TV, WIVB-TV and WNLO, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles east of Fredonia (69° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fredonia at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Fredonia is WGRZ (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WUTV (Fox), 45 miles northeast, 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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Fredonia ranks 797th of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 32 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 Jamestown, 24 miles away.
