Over-the-air TV in Susquehanna
With roughly 1,810 residents, Susquehanna is a small community in Pennsylvania. Our map shows 31 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 12 full-power, 5 Class A, 6 low-power and 8 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.
5 of them are within 25 miles of Susquehanna, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Binghamton, NY, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Binghamton's stations.
The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 34 (WIVT), CBS on channel 22 (WYOU), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 40 (WICZ-TV), CW on channel 38 (WSWB) and ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV). 2 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.
Which way to point your antenna in Susquehanna
Point your antenna WNW, at about 294°. The main network towers for Susquehanna sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WICZ-TV, WIVT, WBGH-CD and WBNG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 19 miles northwest of Susquehanna (294° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Susquehanna at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Susquehanna, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Susquehanna
The farthest main network tower for Susquehanna is WIVT (ABC), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WYOU (CBS), 54 miles south and WBRE-TV (NBC), 54 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.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Susquehanna: step by step
- Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
- Point it toward 295° WNW, the direction of WIVT (ABC), 19 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 11 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
