About WFOX-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 663 kW effective radiated power, WFOX-TV runs more power than 68% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 289 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 24% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 51 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 63 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 52 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,460,000 residents, as far as Palm Coast, FL (53 miles).
