Over-the-air TV in Boyertown
Boyertown is a town of about 4,050 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 60 licensed TV transmitters: 34 full-power, 8 Class A, 13 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 35 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 24 between 25 and 45 miles, and 30 farther out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.
The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WCAU), Fox on channel 29 (WTXF-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPHL-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 62 (WWSI), Univision on channel 65 (WUVP-DT) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 15 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 Boyertown
Point your antenna SE, at about 134°. The main network towers for Boyertown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Nine network stations, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles southeast of Boyertown (134° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Boyertown at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Boyertown, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Boyertown
The farthest main network tower for Boyertown is WCAU (NBC), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WNEP-TV (ABC), 60 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.
