Which way to point your antenna in Kensington Park
Point your antenna NNE, at about 23°. The main network towers for Kensington Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
11 network stations, WXPX-TV, WTSP, WVEA-TV, WMOR-TV and WTVT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles northeast of Kensington Park (24° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 17 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kensington Park at fair strength or better, 65% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Kensington Park, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Kensington Park
The farthest main network tower for Kensington Park is WEDU (PBS), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WINK-TV (CBS), 59 miles southeast, WBBH-TV (NBC), 58 miles southeast and WFTX-TV (Fox), 58 miles southeast, 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.

- 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 23° NNE, the direction of WEDU (PBS), 37 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).
