TV channels & antenna towers in Oxford, Pennsylvania

With roughly 5,390 residents, Oxford is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 61 licensed TV transmitters: 36 full-power, 6 Class A, 16 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 27 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Oxford, 27 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 2 (WMAR-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WCAU), Fox on channel 29 (WTXF-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPHL-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 62 (WWSI), Univision on channel 65 (WUVP-DT) and MeTV on channel 2.1 (WDPN-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 16 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 Oxford sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT, WPHL-TV, WTXF-TV and WPVI-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles northeast of Oxford (65° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 18 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Oxford at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Oxford, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Oxford is WCAU (NBC), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WMAR-TV (ABC), 47 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 27 stations at fair strength or better, Oxford ranks 288th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 38 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 Newark, 14 miles away.
