Over-the-air TV in Berwick

With roughly 10,200 residents, Berwick is a city in Pennsylvania. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 18 full-power, 5 Class A, 5 low-power and 12 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 9 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 21 farther out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Scranton, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Scranton's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 22 (WYOU), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 43 (WPMT), CW on channel 56.2 (WOLF-TV), ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV), Univision on channel 15 (WXBU) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Berwick

Point your antenna ENE, at about 65°. The main network towers for Berwick sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WYOU, WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV and WOLF-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles northeast of Berwick (65° ENE). 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 Berwick at fair strength or better, 55% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Berwick

The farthest main network tower for Berwick is WNEP-TV (ABC), 21 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPMT (Fox), 59 miles southwest, 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.

Setting up an antenna in Berwick: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 65° ENE, the direction of WNEP-TV (ABC), 21 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 20 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.
