For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 23 (WATM-TV), CBS on channel 10 (WTAJ-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 6.4 (WJAC-TV) and ION on channel 47.4 (WKBS-TV). 4 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 SE, at about 134°. The main network towers for Johnsonburg sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WATM-TV, WTAJ-TV and WKBS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles southeast of Johnsonburg (134° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Johnsonburg at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Johnsonburg is WTAJ-TV (CBS), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPXI (NBC), 66 miles southwest and WPGH-TV (Fox), 65 miles southwest, 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 7 stations at fair strength or better, Johnsonburg ranks 972nd of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 32 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 Altoona, 36 miles away.
