About WFXW
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 190 kW effective radiated power, WFXW runs more power than 45% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 269 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 20% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 50 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 57 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 40 cities and towns in our guide with about 168,000 residents, as far as Greenville, MS (27 miles).
WFXW shares its transmitter site with WXVT-LD (CBS). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other ION station in our data is KMCT-TV in West Monroe, LA, 115 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
ION Television is a commercial network built around crime and procedural drama series, with some live sports. It is carried free over the air in most large markets.
