About WGIQ
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 702 kW effective radiated power, WGIQ runs more power than 69% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 262 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 19% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 49 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 56 cities and towns in our guide with about 526,000 residents, as far as Phenix City, AL (58 miles).
