TV channels & antenna towers in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania

Mifflinburg is a town of about 3,520 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 32 licensed TV transmitters: 13 full-power, 4 Class A, 8 low-power and 7 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 farther out. Two of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Lancaster, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Lancaster's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 22 (WYOU), NBC on channel 28 (WBRE-TV), Fox on channel 43 (WPMT), CW on channel 21.3 (WHP-TV) and Univision on channel 15 (WXBU). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 3 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 Mifflinburg are in different directions: ABC 73° ENE (64 mi), CBS 73° ENE (64 mi), NBC 73° ENE (64 mi) and Fox 167° SSE (41 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPMT, WXBU and WHP-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles south of Mifflinburg (167° SSE). 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 Mifflinburg at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WYOU (CBS) and WBRE-TV (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Mifflinburg. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Mifflinburg is WNEP-TV (ABC), 64 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Mifflinburg ranks 875th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

19% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Williamsport, 22 miles away.
