Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.
18 of them are within 25 miles of Village Green, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 24 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Syracuse, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Syracuse's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Village Green
Point your antenna SE, at about 145°. The main network towers for Village Green sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WSTM-TV and WKOF, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles southeast of Village Green (143° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Village Green at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Village Green, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Village Green
The farthest main network tower for Village Green is WSYR-TV (ABC), 20 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WKTV (NBC), 69 miles east, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
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.
