TV channels & antenna towers in Telford, Pennsylvania

Telford is a town of about 4,860 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 51 licensed TV transmitters: 27 full-power, 8 Class A, 11 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 34 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 18 at good or strong strength.

27 of them are within 25 miles of Telford, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 21 are more than 45 miles 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 16 (WNEP-TV), CBS on channel 3 (KYW-TV), NBC on channel 10 (WCAU), Fox on channel 29 (WTXF-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPHL-TV), ION on channel 61 (WPPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 62 (WWSI), Univision on channel 65 (WUVP-DT) and MeTV on channel 69.3 (WFMZ-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal) and Univision (strong 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 SSE, at about 166°. The main network towers for Telford 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 20 miles south of Telford (166° SSE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Telford at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Telford is WTXF-TV (Fox), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNEP-TV (ABC), 66 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 34 stations at fair strength or better, Telford ranks 57th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 18 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
