TV channels & antenna towers in Liberty, New York

With roughly 4,130 residents, Liberty is a town in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 31 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 3 Class A, 8 low-power and 6 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Liberty, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Binghamton, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Binghamton'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 40 (WICZ-TV), CW on channel 38 (WSWB) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 3 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 Liberty are in different directions: ABC 33° NNE (68 mi), CBS 33° NNE (68 mi), NBC 33° NNE (68 mi) and Fox 286° WNW (64 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 68 miles northeast of Liberty (33° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Liberty at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WTEN (ABC), WRGB (CBS), WNYT (NBC) and WICZ-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Liberty. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Liberty is WNYT (NBC), 68 miles away with a fair 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 9 stations at fair strength or better, Liberty ranks 950th of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 57 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 Middletown, 30 miles away.
