WGFL (NBC) · Channel 28.3

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 300 kW effective radiated power, WGFL runs more power than 51% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 288 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 60 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 55 cities and towns in our guide with about 484,000 residents, as far as Lakeside, FL (59 miles).

WGFL shares its transmitter site with WYME-CD, WNBW-DT, WACX-LD, WFGZ-LD and WNFT-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other NBC station in our data is WTLV in Jacksonville, FL, 76 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

NBC is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks. Local NBC affiliates carry the national morning show, evening news and primetime lineup, plus Sunday Night Football and, in Olympic years, the Games.
