Over-the-air TV in Felton

With roughly 1,400 residents, Felton is a small community in Delaware. Our map shows 32 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 17 full-power, 1 Class A and 14 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 18 farther out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Baltimore, MD, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baltimore's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 2 (WMAR-TV), CBS on channel 13 (WJZ-TV), NBC on channel 31 (WRDE-LD), Fox on channel 21.2 (WBOC-TV), PBS on channel 64 (WDPB), CW on channel 47.2 (WMDT) and Telemundo on channel 42.3 (WSJZ-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal). 9 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Felton

Point your antenna S, at about 185°. The main network towers for Felton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WNUV, WBFF, WJZ-TV, WMAR-TV and WBAL-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 62 miles west of Felton (292° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Felton at fair strength or better, 50% 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 Felton, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Felton

The farthest main network tower for Felton is WBOC-TV (Fox), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WMAR-TV (ABC), 62 miles west, WJZ-TV (CBS), 62 miles west and WBAL-TV (NBC), 62 miles west, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Felton: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 186° S, the direction of WBOC-TV (Fox), 35 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 12 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
