Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Salix, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 23 (WATM-TV), CBS on channel 10 (WTAJ-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 6.4 (WJAC-TV) and ION on channel 47.4 (WKBS-TV). 7 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 NE, at about 42°. The main network towers for Salix sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WATM-TV, WTAJ-TV and WKBS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 25 miles northeast of Salix (42° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Salix at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Salix is WTAJ-TV (CBS), 25 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPXI (NBC), 66 miles west and WPGH-TV (Fox), 67 miles west, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WJAC-TV is only 12 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Salix ranks 908th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
