About WHTN
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 900 kW effective radiated power, WHTN runs more power than 76% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 250 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 17% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 48 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 81 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,630,000 residents, as far as Clarksville, TN (60 miles).
