Which way to point your antenna in Audubon
Point your antenna ESE, at about 120°. The main network towers for Audubon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles southeast of Audubon (120° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Audubon at fair strength or better, 82% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Audubon, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Audubon
The farthest main network tower for Audubon is WCAU (NBC), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
WPSG is only 12 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.

Setting up an antenna in Audubon: step by step
- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.

- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 30 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
