Nine network stations, WTXF-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT, WPHL-TV and WDPN-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 10 miles northeast of Morton (27° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Morton at fair strength or better, 90% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Morton, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Morton
The farthest main network tower for Morton is WPVI-TV (ABC), 10 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
WTXF-TV is only 10 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.

Setting up an antenna in Morton: step by step

- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
