TV channels & antenna towers in Yorkshire, New York

Yorkshire is a small community of about 1,180 people in New York. There are 26 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 4 Class A and 7 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Yorkshire, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 9 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 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). 4 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 NW, at about 325°. The main network towers for Yorkshire sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKBW-TV, WIVB-TV and WNLO, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles northwest of Yorkshire (315° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Yorkshire at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Yorkshire is WUTV (Fox), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WKBW-TV is only 11 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, Yorkshire ranks 882nd of 1,012 places in New York: fewer than the typical New York town (23). Its nearest major network tower is 11 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 West Seneca, 28 miles away.
