TV channels & antenna towers in Livonia, New York

With roughly 1,350 residents, Livonia is a small community in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 38 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 5 Class A, 13 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Livonia, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 26 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Buffalo, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Buffalo's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 7 (WKBW-TV), CBS on channel 8 (WROC-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WGRZ), Fox on channel 31 (WUHF), CW on channel 23 (WNLO), ION on channel 51 (WPXJ-TV) and MeTV on channel 67.3 (WBBZ-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna N, at about 11°. The main network towers for Livonia sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WUHF, WHAM-TV, WHEC-TV and WROC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles north of Livonia (11° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Livonia is WROC-TV (CBS), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKBW-TV (ABC), 50 miles west and WGRZ (NBC), 46 miles west, 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Livonia ranks 621st of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 22 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.
