About WGTA
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 240 kW effective radiated power, WGTA runs more power than 48% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 235 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 15% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 47 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 56 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 86 cities and towns in our guide with about 577,000 residents, as far as Sugar Hill, GA (51 miles).
WGTA shares its transmitter site with W28EW-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WAPK-CD in Bristol Va/Kingsport, TN, 144 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
