Which way to point your antenna in New Holland
Point your antenna E, at about 95°. The main network towers for New Holland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 45 miles east of New Holland (95° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach New Holland at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from New Holland, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for New Holland
The farthest main network tower for New Holland is WTXF-TV (Fox), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WCAU (NBC), 45 miles east, 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.
