TV channels & antenna towers in Mohawk, New York

Mohawk is a town of about 2,630 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 40 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 8 Class A, 10 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

7 of them are within 25 miles of Mohawk, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Syracuse, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Syracuse's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 20 (WUTR), CBS on channel 6 (WRGB), NBC on channel 2 (WKTV), Fox on channel 68 (WSYT), CW on channel 33.2 (WFXV) and ION on channel 55 (WYPX-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 Mohawk are in different directions: ABC 317° NW (13 mi) and NBC 27° NNE (7.1 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WFXV and WUTR, transmit from the same tower site about 13 miles northwest of Mohawk (317° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mohawk at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Mohawk is WUTR (ABC), 13 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WRGB (CBS), 57 miles southeast and WSYT (Fox), 61 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.

WKTV is only 7.1 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
