2 of them are within 25 miles of Westover, 13 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 26 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Westover at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WPXI (NBC) and WPGH-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Westover. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Westover is WPGH-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.

WNPB-TV is only 12 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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Westover ranks 22nd of 163 places in West Virginia: more than the typical West Virginia town (11). Its nearest major network tower is 30 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
