I live in Galloway, NJ near Garden State Parkway Exit 41. The antenna is pointed toward the television transmitters in Waterford Works, NJ and the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. Both locations are approximately in the same direction.
I performed a scan on my television set on January 4, 2023. Here is a list of the stations that I received. Take note that with the direction of my antenna, I received WMGM Channel 40 (former NBC 40) with its transmitter located in Swainton, NJ (near Wildwood).

All channels above are in the ATSC 1.0 format.
There is a total of 58 channels and sub-channels; however, there are five duplicates (SBN, NJN, NHK World, WUVP, and True Crime), and one triplicate (Shop LC). Therefore, there are 51 unique sets of programming.
The channels are received from nine broadcast stations. Even though my antenna is not designed for the VHF-Low band, channels 2-6, I have a useable signal from WACP, Physical Channel 4. This is because of the broadcast power and relatively short distance from my home. While I do receive WSJT, Physical Channel 10, reception is not reliable. Reception of WMGM, Physical Channel 36, is not reliable due to the direction of my antenna.
- Physical Channel 4, Waterford Works - WACP (4)
- Physical Channel 10, Waterford Works - WSJT (15)
- Physical Channel 17, Roxborough - WPHL (17), WUVP (65)
- Physical Channel 23, Waterford Works - WNJS (23), WNJT (52)
- Physical Channel 28, Roxborough - WCAU (10), WWSI (62)
- Physical Channel 30, Roxborough - KYW (3), WPSG (57-1)
- Physical Channel 31, Roxborough - WTXF (29), WPSG (57-2, 57-3)
- Physical Channel 32, Waterford Works - WZPA (33)
- Physical Channel 36, Swainton - WMGM (40), WGTW (48)
The ATSC 1.0 signal for WPSG (57) used to be broadcast on Physical Channel 33 (Roxborough). In August 2023, broadcasts on Physical Channel 33 were transitioned to the ATSC 3.0 format. The following channels are multiplexed on Physical Channel 33 in the ATSC 3.0 format. I do not have equipment to decode ATSC 3.0. I am holding off for now because of issues with encryption. I am also wondering if ATSC 3.0 will ever become widely used, or will it fizzle out.
- KYW-TV 3-1 Encrypted
- WPVI-TV 6-1
- WCAU 10-1 Encrypted
- WTXF-TV 29-1
- WPSG-TV 57-1 Encrypted
- WUVP-TV 65-1 Encrypted
57-1 WPSG (KYW [30])
57-2 Charge! (WTXF [31])
57-3 The Nest (WTXF [31])
57-4 TBD (WPVI [6])
57-5 Circle All Access (WPVI [6])
I do not receive WPVI, both physical and virtual Channel 6 because my antenna is not designed for the VHF Low Band, and general issues with the VHF Low Band for ATSC 1.0 broadcasts. I am not sure if I would be able to receive WPVI on Physical Channel 6 even if I had a proper outdoor antenna.
I also want to point out that I no longer receive WPPX Channel 61 (Physical Channel 34) with my antenna. I believe that it has something to do with a change in the transmitter radiation pattern.
