About WKNO
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 835 kW effective radiated power, WKNO runs more power than 75% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 320 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 37% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 53 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 65 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 73 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,980,000 residents, as far as Jackson, TN (65 miles).
