By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 50 farther out. Six of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Struthers
Point your antenna W, at about 278°. The main network towers for Struthers sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Three network stations, WYTV, WKBN-TV and WFMJ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 2.0 miles west of Struthers (278° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Struthers at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Struthers, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Struthers
The farthest main network tower for Struthers is WKBN-TV (Fox), 2.0 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
KDKA-TV (CBS), 49 miles southeast and WPXI (NBC), 52 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.
WYTV is only 2.0 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.
