TV channels & antenna towers in Denver, Pennsylvania

With roughly 3,880 residents, Denver is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 61 licensed TV transmitters: 36 full-power, 9 Class A, 12 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 29 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Denver, 17 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 43 are more than 45 miles 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 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 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 (good signal) and Univision (good 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 Denver are in different directions: ABC 12° NNE (67 mi), CBS 105° ESE (49 mi), NBC 105° ESE (49 mi) and Fox 105° ESE (49 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 39 miles west of Denver (282° WNW). 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 Denver at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across four other directions.

WNEP-TV (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Denver. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Denver is WNEP-TV (ABC), 67 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

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

19% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Reading, 13 miles away.
