Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WTXF-TV and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 13 miles northwest of Cherry Hill (304° NW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cherry Hill

The farthest main network tower for Cherry Hill is KYW-TV (CBS), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WWSI is only 13 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
