TV channels & antenna towers in Warsaw, New York

Warsaw is a town of about 3,380 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 32 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 4 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 20 between 25 and 45 miles, and 7 farther out. Five of the 13 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 29 (WUTV), 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 W, at about 268°. The main network towers for Warsaw 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 39 miles northeast of Warsaw (45° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Warsaw at fair strength or better, 55% 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 Warsaw, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Warsaw is WUTV (Fox), 45 miles away with a good 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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Warsaw ranks 670th of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 17 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

42% of New York's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Cheektowaga, 33 miles away.
