About WEDH
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 497 kW effective radiated power, WEDH runs more power than 60% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 506 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 72% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 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 673 cities and towns in our guide with about 8,410,000 residents, as far as Cumberland, RI (74 miles).
WEDH shares its transmitter site with WTIC-TV (Fox), WEDY, WCCT-TV (CW), WHNH-CD, WHPX-TV (ION) and WHCT-LD (MeTV) and 2 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
