WBXX-TV (CW) · Channel 20

Full-power stations are the main licensed broadcasters in a market. They may run the highest power from the tallest towers and are protected from interference, so they set the core of what you can receive.

At 834 kW effective radiated power, WBXX-TV runs more power than 75% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 728 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 93% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 77 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 87 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 144 cities and towns in our guide with about 889,000 residents, as far as Cleveland, TN (72 miles).

The nearest other CW station in our data is WFLI-TV in Cleveland, TN, 86 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
