About WHDT
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 943.1 kW effective radiated power, WHDT runs more power than 78% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 440 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 62% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 61 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 199 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,960,000 residents, as far as Vero Beach South, FL (73 miles).
WHDT shares its transmitter site with WFLX (Fox). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
