TV channels & antenna towers in Upland, Pennsylvania

Upland is a town of about 3,250 people in Pennsylvania. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 42 licensed TV transmitters: 23 full-power, 5 Class A, 11 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

22 of them are within 25 miles of Upland, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 14 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

Point your antenna NNE, at about 30°. The main network towers for Upland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Nine network stations, WTXF-TV, KYW-TV, WUVP-DT, WPHL-TV and WDPN-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles northeast of Upland (30° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Upland at fair strength or better, 90% 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 Upland, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Upland is WPVI-TV (ABC), 15 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 30 stations at fair strength or better, Upland ranks 121st 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.

37% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Chester, 1.4 miles away.
