TV channels & antenna towers in Cornwall, Pennsylvania

With roughly 4,230 residents, Cornwall is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 59 licensed TV transmitters: 36 full-power, 8 Class A, 12 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 29 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 45 farther out. Five of the 24 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 8 (WGAL), Fox on channel 43 (WPMT), CW on channel 21.3 (WHP-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 62 (WWSI), Univision on channel 15 (WXBU) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (strong signal). 12 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Cornwall are in different directions: NBC 214° SW (20 mi) and Fox 282° WNW (25 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPMT, WXBU and WHP-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles west of Cornwall (282° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cornwall at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Cornwall is WPMT (Fox), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 69 miles northeast and KYW-TV (CBS), 63 miles east, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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 29 stations at fair strength or better, Cornwall ranks 204th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

37% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Lebanon, 4.7 miles away.
