What NYC radio stations can be heard in East Stroudsburg? Do you get NYC or Philly Tv stations?

I don't know personally how you will fare, but I do not believe TV stations will travel that far. As far as FM stations, I would say that it depends on your elevation. Signals in that range tend to obey the "line of sight" rule. If you are on a mountain with nothing blocking the view, you should be able to pick up some FM stations. In the 80's I lived in upstate NY between Binghamton & Syracuse in a town called McDonough which was on a unique 1750' plateau and could get an FM station from NYC (I only tried once or twice, I believe WNEW-FM, my fave), and that was over 200 miles away.
As far as AM goes, that should be no problem but only at night, they can go halfway across the country if they have enough power. I was able to get a Chicago AM station in North Carolina at night, and I read somewhere that at times they could hear WABC 77 AM in NY all the way down in Miami.
