TV channels & antenna towers in Hopwood, Pennsylvania

Hopwood is a small community of about 2,090 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 45 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 9 Class A, 14 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

2 of them are within 25 miles of Hopwood, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 4 (WTAE-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 6.4 (WJAC-TV) and ION on channel 16 (WINP-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NNW, at about 344°. The main network towers for Hopwood sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles north of Hopwood (340° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hopwood at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Hopwood is WPXI (NBC), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KDKA-TV (CBS), 46 miles north and WPGH-TV (Fox), 46 miles north, 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.

WWKH-CD is only 2.9 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.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Hopwood ranks 780th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 28 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

44% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Morgantown, 22 miles away.
