About WJBF

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 755 kW effective radiated power, WJBF runs more power than 72% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 504 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 72% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 76 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 103 cities and towns in our guide with about 772,000 residents, as far as Statesboro, GA (66 miles).

WJBF shares its transmitter site with WAGT-CD (NBC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CW station in our data is WIS in Columbia, SC, 79 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
