About WDVM-TV
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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, WDVM-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 447 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 63% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 74 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 394 cities and towns in our guide with about 6,040,000 residents, as far as Reisterstown, MD (73 miles).
