Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles northwest of Manor (302° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Manor at fair strength or better, 56% 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 Manor, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Manor
The farthest main network tower for Manor is KDKA-TV (CBS), 21 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WPCB-TV is only 7.1 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.

- Point it toward 301° WNW, the direction of KDKA-TV (CBS), 21 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
