Out-of-market Coverage
Unlike WTXF and WPHL, WPSG is carried in fewer places in central New Jersey.
In early November 2012 the at request of Tribune Broadcasting owned New York CW affiliate WPIX WPSG's CW programing block was blacked out in parts of the of the New York DMA in New Jersey late that same month the blackout request was apparently lifted.
In Warren County, it is carried in Phillipsburg.
In Hunterdon and Somerset counties, WPSG is on Comcast (formerly Patriot Media) analog channel 17. It's also carried in Lambertville. This also includes KYW and the other Philadelphia locals.
In Middlesex County, it was carried on Comcast (formerly Storer) of Central New Jersey's analog channel 22 from soon after its launch as WGBS "Philly 57" in 1985 until January 2007, it was moved to digital cable channel 254 to "preserve bandwidth". Sister station KYW returned to the Comcast of Central New Jersey line up on digital channel 256 after a 14 year absence in December 2007. In Monmouth and Ocean Counties, WPSG is also carried on Comcast Cable on channel 254 in Ocean County. Comcast added WPSG HD to its Toms River and Long Beach Island lineups in Ocean County and Comcast of Central New Jersey in southern Middlesex County as well as borough of Roosevelt in Monmouth County and Comcast's Lambertville area system in Hunterdon County on August 22, 2012 as Channel 911.
It is not available to Cablevision customers in Lakewood, Seaside Heights in Ocean County and southern Monmouth County, even though Cablevision carries other Philadelphia stations on these systems. Allentown in extreme western Monmouth County carries WPSG (and all Philadelphia/New York locals) on Cablevision that's based out of Hamilton, Mercer County.
Comcast also carries WPSG on Channel 11 in Lebanon, Lebanon County.
DirecTV and Dish Network do not carry any Philadelphia stations in any area outside the Philadelphia market.
