Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 28 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 25 between 25 and 45 miles, and 27 farther out. Five of the 21 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Blandon
Point your antenna SE, at about 129°. The main network towers for Blandon 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 44 miles southeast of Blandon (129° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Blandon at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Blandon, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Blandon
The farthest main network tower for Blandon is WCAU (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WNEP-TV (ABC), 51 miles north, 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.
