TV channels & antenna towers in Westhampton, New York

Westhampton is a town of about 3,080 people in New York. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 49 licensed TV transmitters: 22 full-power, 7 Class A and 20 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 5 between 25 and 45 miles, and 41 farther out. Four of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Hartford, CT, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Hartford's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 8 (WTNH), CBS on channel 3 (WFSB), NBC on channel 30 (WVIT), Fox on channel 61 (WTIC-TV), CW on channel 20 (WCCT-TV), ION on channel 26 (WHPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WRDM-CD), Univision on channel 41 (WXTV-DT) and MeTV on channel 33.1 (WJLP). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (weak signal). 10 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 N, at about 350°. The main network towers for Westhampton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WRDM-CD, WVIT, WTIC-TV, WCCT-TV and WHPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles north of Westhampton (352° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Westhampton at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Westhampton is WFSB (CBS), 66 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WLNY-TV is only 14 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.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Westhampton ranks 882nd of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 44 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

24% of New York's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Shirley, 11 miles away.
