TV channels & antenna towers in Greene, New York

Greene is a small community of about 1,500 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 52 licensed TV transmitters: 21 full-power, 9 Class A, 15 low-power and 7 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 5 between 25 and 45 miles, and 42 farther out. Five of the 17 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 2 (WKTV), Fox on channel 68 (WSYT), CW on channel 3.2 (WSTM-TV) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Greene are in different directions: ABC 206° SSW (21 mi) and Fox 330° NNW (44 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WIVT, WBGH-CD, WICZ-TV and WBNG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles southwest of Greene (206° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greene at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across five other directions.

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

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

WKOF (CBS), 46 miles north and WKTV (NBC), 68 miles northeast, 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.

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 17 stations at fair strength or better, Greene ranks 670th of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 21 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 Binghamton, 18 miles away.
