0 of them are within 25 miles of Lakeview, 17 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 35 are more than 45 miles 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 best-placed network stations 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 56 (WSPX-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 Lakeview are in different directions: ABC 189° S (26 mi), CBS 340° NNW (38 mi) and Fox 331° NNW (35 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WIVT, WBGH-CD, WBNG-TV and WICZ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles south of Lakeview (189° S). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lakeview at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lakeview is WKOF (CBS), 38 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKTV (NBC), 66 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.
