Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 38 farther out. Three of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Hartford, CT, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Hartford's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 10 (WTEN), CBS on channel 6 (WRGB), NBC on channel 13 (WNYT), Fox on channel 61 (WTIC-TV), CW on channel 45 (WCWN), ION on channel 26 (WHPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WRDM-CD), Univision on channel 43 (WHTX-LD) and MeTV on channel 33.1 (WJLP).

The main network towers around Haviland are in different directions: ABC 355° N (60 mi), CBS 355° N (60 mi), NBC 355° N (60 mi) and Fox 94° E (55 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, WXXA-TV, WCWN, WNYT, WRGB and WTEN and others, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles north of Haviland (355° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Haviland at fair strength or better, 46% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WRGB (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Haviland. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Haviland is WNYT (NBC), 60 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 23 stations at fair strength or better, Haviland ranks 494th of 1,012 places in New York: the same as the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 55 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

24% of New York's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Poughkeepsie, 4.7 miles away.
