About WFXP

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 930 kW effective radiated power, WFXP runs more power than 77% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 286 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 23% 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 78 cities and towns in our guide with about 444,000 residents, as far as Jamestown, NY (43 miles).

WFXP shares its transmitter site with WJET-TV (CW), WQLN, WICU-TV (NBC), WSEE-TV (CBS), W32DH-D and W23FH-D and 1 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is WKBN-TV in Youngstown, OH, 74 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.
