Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 27 miles north of Doylestown (358° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Doylestown at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Doylestown

The farthest main network tower for Doylestown is WKYC (NBC), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKBN-TV (Fox), 55 miles east, 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.

WDLI-TV is only 8.0 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.
