Which way to point your antenna in Ewing

Point your antenna SW, at about 236°. The main network towers for Ewing sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WPVI-TV and WPPX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles southwest of Ewing (236° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 19 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ewing at fair strength or better, 47% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Ewing

The farthest main network tower for Ewing is KYW-TV (CBS), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
