Over-the-air TV in Nunda

Nunda is a small community of about 1,330 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 34 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 4 Class A and 11 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 17 between 25 and 45 miles, and 15 farther 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 best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 7 (WKBW-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WIVB-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.

Which way to point your antenna in Nunda

The main network towers around Nunda are in different directions: ABC 277° W (35 mi), CBS 279° W (35 mi), NBC 287° WNW (33 mi) and Fox 25° NNE (42 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WUHF, WHAM-TV, WHEC-TV and WROC-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles northeast of Nunda (25° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Nunda at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Nunda

The farthest main network tower for Nunda is WUHF (Fox), 42 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Nunda: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 25° NNE, the direction of WUHF (Fox), 42 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 17 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
