Which way to point your antenna in Society Hill

Point your antenna ENE, at about 61°. The main network towers for Society Hill sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WCBS-TV, WNYW, WNBC, WNJU and WPXN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles northeast of Society Hill (62° ENE). 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 Society Hill at fair strength or better, 47% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Society Hill

The farthest main network tower for Society Hill is WABC-TV (ABC), 29 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTXF-TV (Fox), 53 miles southwest, 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.
