TV channels & antenna towers in New Haven, West Virginia

With roughly 1,530 residents, New Haven is a small community in West Virginia. Our map shows 24 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 12 full-power, 1 Class A, 9 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 15 between 25 and 45 miles, and 8 farther out. Three of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Parkersburg, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Parkersburg's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 8 (WCHS-TV), CBS on channel 13 (WOWK-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WSAZ-TV), Fox on channel 18.2 (WHIZ-TV), CW on channel 30 (WQCW) and ION on channel 29 (WLPX-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 SSW, at about 193°. The main network towers for New Haven sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WSAZ-TV, WQCW, WOWK-TV and WLPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles south of New Haven (202° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach New Haven at fair strength or better, 71% 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 New Haven, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for New Haven is WCHS-TV (ABC), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WHIZ-TV (Fox), 65 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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 10 stations at fair strength or better, New Haven ranks 99th of 163 places in West Virginia: fewer than the typical West Virginia town (11). Its nearest major network tower is 33 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

55% of West Virginia's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Athens, 25 miles away.
