Liberty is a town of about 2,520 people in Pennsylvania. There are 38 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 6 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 26 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 17 at good or strong strength.

18 of them are within 25 miles of Liberty, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

The best-placed network stations 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 22 (WPNT) 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.

The main network towers around Liberty are in different directions: ABC 138° SE (4.2 mi), CBS 324° NW (14 mi), NBC 321° NW (12 mi) and Fox 326° NNW (14 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 14 miles northwest of Liberty (326° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Liberty at fair strength or better, 58% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Liberty is KDKA-TV (CBS), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WTAE-TV is only 4.2 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 26 stations at fair strength or better, Liberty ranks 332nd of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 4.2 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

37% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is West Mifflin, 2.7 miles away.
