Wyncote is a town of about 3,040 people in Pennsylvania. There are 42 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 22 full-power, 5 Class A, 10 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 23 at good or strong strength.

22 of them are within 25 miles of Wyncote, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 8 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 10 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 6 (WPVI-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 2.1 (WDPN-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal) and Univision (strong signal). 12 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Nine network stations, WDPN-TV, WWSI, WCAU, WPVI-TV and WPPX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 5.9 miles southwest of Wyncote (232° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wyncote at fair strength or better, 90% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Wyncote is KYW-TV (CBS), 6.1 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.

WEFG-LD is only 2.7 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.

With 30 stations at fair strength or better, Wyncote ranks 121st of 1,015 places in Pennsylvania: more than the typical Pennsylvania town (24). Its nearest major network tower is 5.9 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
