Over-the-air TV in Aspinwall

With roughly 2,760 residents, Aspinwall is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 38 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 6 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 26 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 21 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 18 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 14 farther out. Six of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Aspinwall

The main network towers around Aspinwall are in different directions: ABC 160° SSE (16 mi), CBS 272° W (6.0 mi), NBC 250° WSW (5.6 mi) and Fox 273° W (5.2 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 5.2 miles west of Aspinwall (273° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Aspinwall

The farthest main network tower for Aspinwall is WTAE-TV (ABC), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WPTG-CD is only 4.4 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.

  2. Point it toward 160° SSE, the direction of WTAE-TV (ABC), 16 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 26 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
