Five network stations, WPTZ, WNNE, WCAX-TV, WFFF-TV and WVNY, transmit from the same tower site about 9.1 miles east of Jericho (80° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jericho at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Jericho, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Jericho
The farthest main network tower for Jericho is WFFF-TV (Fox), 9.1 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WPTZ is only 9.1 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.
