Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dennison at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.
KDKA-TV (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Dennison. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Dennison
The farthest main network tower for Dennison is KDKA-TV (CBS), 69 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
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.
