Over-the-air TV in Verona

Verona is a small community of about 2,440 people in Pennsylvania. There are 38 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 6 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 26 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 19 at good or strong strength.

18 of them are within 25 miles of Verona, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 4 (WTAE-TV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 53 (WPGH-TV), CW on channel 22 (WPNT) and ION on channel 16 (WINP-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Verona

The main network towers around Verona are in different directions: ABC 172° S (16 mi), CBS 265° W (9.3 mi), NBC 251° WSW (9.0 mi) and Fox 265° W (8.5 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WPGH-TV, WPNT and KDKA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 8.5 miles west of Verona (265° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Verona at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across four other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Verona

The farthest main network tower for Verona is WTAE-TV (ABC), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WINP-TV is only 7.6 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.
