Which way to point your antenna in Vineland

Point your antenna NNW, at about 328°. The main network towers for Vineland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

KCCW-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Vineland. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Vineland

The farthest main network tower for Vineland is KCCW-TV (CBS), 63 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Vineland: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 328° NNW, the direction of KCCW-TV (CBS), 63 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 4 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.
