About WEUX
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 600 kW effective radiated power, WEUX runs more power than 65% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 223 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 13% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 46 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 58 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 63 cities and towns in our guide with about 306,000 residents, as far as Eau Claire, WI (13 miles).
The nearest other Fox station in our data is KMSP-TV in Minneapolis, MN, 72 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
