5 of them are within 25 miles of Port Dickinson, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 44 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 18 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 34 (WIVT), CBS on channel 15 (WKOF), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 40 (WICZ-TV), CW on channel 12.2 (WBNG-TV) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Four network stations, WIVT, WBGH-CD, WICZ-TV and WBNG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 5.6 miles southwest of Port Dickinson (206° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Port Dickinson is WICZ-TV (Fox), 5.9 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WKOF (CBS), 57 miles north and WBRE-TV (NBC), 66 miles south, 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.

WIVT is only 5.6 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.
