Which way to point your antenna in Bridgeton

Point your antenna N, at about 360°. The main network towers for Bridgeton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WTXF-TV, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles north of Bridgeton (360° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bridgeton at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Bridgeton

The farthest main network tower for Bridgeton is WPVI-TV (ABC), 43 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WDPB (PBS), 57 miles south, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

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 360° N, the direction of WPVI-TV (ABC), 43 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
