About WFXL
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, WFXL runs more power than 73% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 302 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 28% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 64 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 48 cities and towns in our guide with about 349,000 residents, as far as Valdosta, GA (49 miles).
WFXL shares its transmitter site with WALB (CW) and WTSG-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Fox station in our data is WTWC-TV in Tallahassee, FL, 45 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.
