9 of them are within 25 miles of Palmyra, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 23 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Baltimore, MD, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baltimore's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (strong signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Palmyra are in different directions: ABC 272° W (19 mi), NBC 184° S (19 mi) and Fox 280° W (15 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPMT, WXBU and WHP-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles west of Palmyra (280° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Palmyra at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Palmyra is WGAL (NBC), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJZ-TV (CBS), 67 miles south, 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.

WXBU is only 15 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.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Palmyra ranks 875th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
