WHMB-TV (Univision) · Channel 40

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 29 kW effective radiated power, WHMB-TV runs more power than 16% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.

Its antenna sits 302 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 28% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 54 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 98 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,150,000 residents, as far as Bloomington, IN (53 miles).

WHMB-TV shares its transmitter site with WDTI, WJSJ-CD, WSWY-LD, WBXI-CD, WSDI-LD and WQDE-LD and 9 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Univision station in our data is WHME-TV in South Bend, IN, 118 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Univision is the largest Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., carrying telenovelas, news, entertainment and soccer.
