Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles northwest of Ligonier (294° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ligonier at fair strength or better, 30% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Ligonier is KDKA-TV (CBS), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.
