About WJWJ-TV
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 385 kW effective radiated power, WJWJ-TV runs more power than 56% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 366 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 48% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 57 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 72 cities and towns in our guide with about 988,000 residents, as far as Pooler, GA (53 miles).
