By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 47 farther out. Six of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 7.3 (WTRF-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 22 (WPNT) and ION on channel 16 (WINP-TV). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Bridgeport are in different directions: ABC 228° SW (0.9 mi), CBS 52° NE (48 mi), NBC 55° NE (47 mi) and Fox 53° NE (49 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV and WPNT, transmit from the same tower site about 48 miles northeast of Bridgeport (52° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bridgeport at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Bridgeport is WPGH-TV (Fox), 49 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WWVW-LD is only 0.9 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

With 19 stations at fair strength or better, Bridgeport ranks 252nd of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 0.9 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
