What channel is ION on?

ION is a local broadcast station, so its channel number depends on where you live.

Verizon Fios TVYour local station's number

Local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and CW stations depend on where you live. On DIRECTV they use the station's over-the-air number (WABC New York is on 7, KTRK Houston on 13). DISH puts local stations on channels 2 to 70, and Verizon Fios on 1 to 49 (HD 501 to 549), depending on your market. A free antenna gets them too.
