Digital reception in Ocean County, NJ

J

JerseyShor

Being on the outer-edge of both the NYC and Philly markets here's what I'm getting with just a simple Zenith Silver Sensor.

(1/4 = very weak, 4/4 = very strong)

WWSI-DT 49 (4/4) Atlantic City, NJ
WMGM-DT 35 (3/4) Wildwood, NJ
WNJS-DT 22 (2/4) Camden, NJ
WMCN-DT 44 (1/4) Atlantic City, NJ
KYW-DT 26 (barely detectable) Philadelphia, PA
WYBE-DT 34 (barely detectable) Philadelphia, PA

That's pretty good. At least you get news relevant to the Jersey Shore.
 
He also gets WWSI Telemundo, which most of the Philly market cannot get over the air. WMGM-DT has a stronger signal then than analog WMGM 40. What would WMGM-DT Grade A/Grade B contours look like now?

WUVP-DT Vineland and WPPX-DT Wilmington are essentially Roxborough Philly stations, while WNJS-DT and WMCN-DT are in Waterford Works. I'm surprised the poor reception of WNJS and WMCN in Southern Ocean. WNJS analog used to cover most of Southern NJ.

Is there any Ocean Co. overlap of WNYW-DT 44 with WMCN-DT 44?
 
I've found a great resource for coverage maps:

Click online coverage maps, and it's self-explanatory.

Say, wasn't WMGM-TV/DT trying get the FCC's OK to move the transmitter and tower to Somers Point?

It still does, quite nicely. Can't speak for the DT; don't own a set or a converter box, yet.
