Four network stations, WTVF, WJFB, WPGD-TV and WZTV, transmit from the same tower site about 36 miles southwest of Westmoreland (236° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Westmoreland at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Westmoreland, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Westmoreland
The farthest main network tower for Westmoreland is WTVF (CBS), 36 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
WKRN-TV (ABC), 48 miles southwest, 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.

- Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.

- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
