About WEPH
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 700 kW effective radiated power, WEPH runs more power than 69% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 453 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 65% 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 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 64 cities and towns in our guide with about 326,000 residents, as far as Oxford, MS (47 miles).
WEPH shares its transmitter site with WLOV-TV (CW) and WTVA (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
