About WFSU-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 937.8 kW effective radiated power, WFSU-TV runs more power than 78% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 251 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 17% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 48 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 61 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 30 cities and towns in our guide with about 317,000 residents, as far as Tallahassee, FL (20 miles).
The nearest other PBS station in our data is WFSG in Panama City, FL, 78 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
PBS is the non-commercial public television service. Each region is served by a member station that carries national programs such as children's shows, documentaries and news, plus local programming.
