3 of them are within 25 miles of Laurel Lake, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 34 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

Nine network stations, WTXF-TV, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles north of Laurel Lake (347° NNW). 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 Laurel Lake at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

WDPB (PBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Laurel Lake. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Laurel Lake is WDPB (PBS), 57 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Laurel Lake ranks 484th of 537 places in New Jersey: fewer than the typical New Jersey town (37). Its nearest major network tower is 49 miles away, against a state median of 26 miles.

17% of New Jersey's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Millville, 4.3 miles away.
