The main network towers around Beaver are in different directions: ABC 325° NW (31 mi), CBS 133° SE (20 mi), NBC 135° SE (22 mi) and Fox 131° SE (21 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV and WPNT, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles southeast of Beaver (133° SE). 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 Beaver at fair strength or better, 55% 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 Beaver, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Beaver is WYTV (ABC), 31 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
