By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 19 between 25 and 45 miles, and 25 farther out. Five of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Philadelphia, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Philadelphia's stations.

KYW-TV (CBS), WCAU (NBC) and WTXF-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Weissport East. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Weissport East is WTXF-TV (Fox), 60 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 22 stations at fair strength or better, Weissport East ranks 549th of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: fewer than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

19% of Pennsylvania's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Whitehall Township, 15 miles away.
