Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 36 farther out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Scranton, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Scranton's stations.

Four network stations, WYOU, WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV and WOLF-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 58 miles east of Faxon (94° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Faxon at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

WPMT (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Faxon. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Faxon is WPMT (Fox), 63 miles away with a fair 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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Faxon ranks 815th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 8.1 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
