Perkasie is a town of about 8,470 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 52 licensed TV transmitters: 27 full-power, 8 Class A, 11 low-power and 6 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 35 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 27 transmitters are within 25 miles, 5 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 farther out. Five of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (good signal). 13 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 S, at about 173°. The main network towers for Perkasie sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WPVI-TV, WPPX-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT and WPHL-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles south of Perkasie (173° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

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

The farthest main network tower for Perkasie is WTXF-TV (Fox), 23 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 64 miles northwest, 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 35 stations at fair strength or better, Perkasie ranks 51st of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
