About WELF-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 475 kW effective radiated power, WELF-TV runs more power than 59% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 413 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 58% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 60 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 69 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 129 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,290,000 residents, as far as Acworth, GA (67 miles).
The nearest other Trinity station in our data is WTJP-TV in Gadsden, AL, 91 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is a Christian religious broadcaster with a large network of owned stations and translators.
