Nine network stations, KYW-TV, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles southeast of Pennside (121° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

The farthest main network tower for Pennside is WCAU (NBC), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 58 miles north, 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.

W24CS-D is only 1.6 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 28 stations at fair strength or better, Pennside ranks 257th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 28 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
