Which way to point your antenna in Edgemoor

Point your antenna NE, at about 34°. The main network towers for Edgemoor sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WTXF-TV, WUVP-DT, WPHL-TV and WDPN-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 24 miles northeast of Edgemoor (34° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Edgemoor at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Edgemoor, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Edgemoor

The farthest main network tower for Edgemoor is WPVI-TV (ABC), 25 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

  2. Point it toward 34° NE, the direction of WPVI-TV (ABC), 25 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
