By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 14 farther out. Three of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Altoona, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Altoona's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 23 (WATM-TV), CBS on channel 10 (WTAJ-TV), Fox on channel 43 (WPMT), CW on channel 21.3 (WHP-TV), ION on channel 47.4 (WKBS-TV) and Univision on channel 15 (WXBU). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WGAL in Lancaster, PA, 86 miles to the southeast. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (fair signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SW, at about 236°. The main network towers for Bellefonte sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKBS-TV, WTAJ-TV and WATM-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles southwest of Bellefonte (236° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bellefonte at fair strength or better, 50% 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 Bellefonte, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Bellefonte is WATM-TV (ABC), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPMT (Fox), 62 miles southeast, 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.

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.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Bellefonte ranks 891st of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 40 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
