2 of them are within 25 miles of Myerstown, 14 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 40 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

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

The farthest main network tower for Myerstown is WCAU (NBC), 61 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 25 stations at fair strength or better, Myerstown ranks 398th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 29 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 Lebanon, 6.2 miles away.
