About WFLX
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 800 kW effective radiated power, WFLX runs more power than 73% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 452 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 64% 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 199 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,960,000 residents, as far as Vero Beach South, FL (73 miles).
