Which way to point your antenna in Pemberton

Point your antenna W, at about 280°. The main network towers for Pemberton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WTXF-TV and WUVP-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles west of Pemberton (280° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Pemberton at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Pemberton

The farthest main network tower for Pemberton is KYW-TV (CBS), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
