Within 70 miles of the town center we count 40 licensed TV transmitters: 18 full-power, 5 Class A, 5 low-power and 12 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 16 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 farther out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Scranton, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Scranton's stations.

The strongest network signals here 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 56.2 (WOLF-TV), ION on channel 64 (WQPX-TV), Univision on channel 15 (WXBU) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (good signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna ENE, at about 65°. The main network towers for Mifflinville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WYOU, WBRE-TV, WNEP-TV and WOLF-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles northeast of Mifflinville (65° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mifflinville at fair strength or better, 55% 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 Mifflinville, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Mifflinville is WNEP-TV (ABC), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPMT (Fox), 56 miles southwest, 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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Mifflinville ranks 616th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 25 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

44% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Hazleton, 18 miles away.
