Which way to point your antenna in Goldens Bridge

Point your antenna SSW, at about 204°. The main network towers for Goldens Bridge sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WCBS-TV, WNYW, WNBC, WNJU and WPXN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles southwest of Goldens Bridge (204° SSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Goldens Bridge at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Goldens Bridge

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

WTIC-TV (Fox), 52 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.
