Over-The-Air TV Is Incredibly Reliable
Installed correctly, an antenna is the most reliable way to receive TV.
Over-The-Air broadcasts are critical to receiving important information during severe weather events. Cell sites are more likely to fail.
If Free TV Shows, Movies, and Sporting Events Wasn’t Enough…
The picture quality is superior.
It’s digital—just like YouTube, Netflix, HBO Max, and other popular streaming services—without the need for internet. Unlike streaming services, many channels are broadcast over the air with less compression. Some over the air channels may soon broadcast in 4K.

FTA TV broadcasting is a very large industry that has existed for nearly a century—and it’s better than ever.
The vast majority of OTA TV is FTA (Free-to-air). These TV channels are broadcast in the clear—anyone with the proper equipment to receive the signal can watch content without any subscription costs. This is carried out with VHF and UHF radio waves using terrestrial broadcast towers. These signals are picked up by individuals with TV antennas. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates all radio spectrum dedicated to broadcast TV in the United States. Learn more at fcc.gov.
WNY Over The Air believes everyone should be able to watch TV with an antenna, the way TV had always been. Free. Data privacy conscious.
