Within 70 miles of the town center we count 51 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 9 Class A, 19 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

4 of them are within 25 miles of West Liberty, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 31 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, 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). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna ENE, at about 61°. The main network towers for West Liberty sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV and WPNT, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles northeast of West Liberty (53° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for West Liberty is WTAE-TV (ABC), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
