Which way to point your antenna in Flying Hills

Point your antenna ESE, at about 114°. The main network towers for Flying Hills sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southeast of Flying Hills (114° ESE). 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 Flying Hills at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Flying Hills

The farthest main network tower for Flying Hills is WCAU (NBC), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 63 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.
