Which way to point your antenna in Coopersburg

Point your antenna SSE, at about 166°. The main network towers for Coopersburg 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 33 miles south of Coopersburg (166° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Coopersburg at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Coopersburg

The farthest main network tower for Coopersburg is WTXF-TV (Fox), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 53 miles northwest, 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.

WPPT is only 4.5 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

  2. Point it toward 166° SSE, the direction of WTXF-TV (Fox), 34 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).
