WJLP (MeTV) · Channel 33.1

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 26.5 kW effective radiated power, WJLP runs more power than 15% 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 340 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 44% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 55 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 873 cities and towns in our guide with about 32,300,000 residents, as far as Trenton, NJ (54 miles).

WJLP shares its transmitter site with WNYE-TV, WABC-TV (ABC), WXNY-LD, WDYJ-LD, WFUT-DT and WTBY-TV and 4 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WFMZ-TV in Allentown, PA, 77 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.
