WEAU (CW) · Channel 14.10

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 740 kW effective radiated power, WEAU runs more power than 71% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 616 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 89% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 71 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 81 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 109 cities and towns in our guide with about 658,000 residents, as far as Stevens Point, WI (69 miles).

WEAU shares its transmitter site with WECX-LD (CW). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CW station in our data is WSAW-TV in Wausau, WI, 65 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.
