Nine network stations, WTXF-TV, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles north of Elmer (353° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

The farthest main network tower for Elmer is WPVI-TV (ABC), 31 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WDPB (PBS), 69 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.

With 25 stations at fair strength or better, Elmer ranks 466th of 537 places in New Jersey: fewer than the typical New Jersey town (37). Its nearest major network tower is 31 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.
