69 WFMZ (WFMZ-TV) Channel Numbers

69 WFMZ is the independent station based in Allentown (Lehigh Valley/Berks area). It is carried on many regional cable systems but may not be available on all providers in the core Philadelphia area or national satellite as a standard channel (often requires antenna or specific regional carriage).

  • Specific channel numbers vary widely by provider and exact location (e.g., closer to Allentown vs. Philadelphia proper).
  • It is commonly found on lower digital channels in the Lehigh Valley/Berks regions (e.g., Service Electric, Blue Ridge, Astound/RCN).
  • On Xfinity, Verizon Fios, DIRECTV, and DISH in Philadelphia: Often not carried or only in fringe areas; use antenna (OTA channel 69) for best access.
  • Check your provider’s channel lineup tool with your ZIP code for exact numbers, as WFMZ is a must-carry local station in its primary market but optional elsewhere.

So, use the MeTV2 channels above for cable/satellite in most cases. Antenna viewers can tune to Channel 2 (MeTV2) or Channel 69 (WFMZ) and stream using the WFMZ+ APP.
