With roughly 5,270 residents, Schlusser is a town in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 34 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 2 Class A, 11 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

9 of them are within 25 miles of Schlusser, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Baltimore, MD, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baltimore's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 27 (WHTM-TV), CBS on channel 13 (WJZ-TV), NBC on channel 8 (WGAL), Fox on channel 43 (WPMT), CW on channel 21.3 (WHP-TV) and Univision on channel 15 (WXBU). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (strong signal). 6 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 Schlusser are in different directions: ABC 67° ENE (13 mi), NBC 116° ESE (33 mi) and Fox 66° ENE (18 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WXBU, WHP-TV and WPMT, transmit from the same tower site about 18 miles northeast of Schlusser (66° ENE). 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 Schlusser at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Schlusser is WGAL (NBC), 33 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJZ-TV (CBS), 69 miles southeast, 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 11 stations at fair strength or better, Schlusser ranks 891st of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 13 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 Harrisburg, 16 miles away.
