22 of them are within 25 miles of Kenilworth, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 32 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Kenilworth

Point your antenna ESE, at about 122°. The main network towers for Kenilworth 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 24 miles southeast of Kenilworth (122° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kenilworth at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Kenilworth

The farthest main network tower for Kenilworth is WCAU (NBC), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 67 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.

  2. Point it toward 122° ESE, the direction of WCAU (NBC), 25 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
