Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WPVI-TV and WPPX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles southwest of Morrisville (244° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Morrisville

The farthest main network tower for Morrisville is KYW-TV (CBS), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
