About WKTC

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 426 kW effective radiated power, WKTC runs more power than 58% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 391 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 54% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 58 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 68 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 104 cities and towns in our guide with about 891,000 residents, as far as Aiken, SC (67 miles).

WKTC shares its transmitter site with WACH (Fox), WKDC-LD and WOLO-TV (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is WRTD-CD in Raleigh, NC, 166 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Telemundo is a Spanish-language broadcast network with telenovelas, news, entertainment and major soccer coverage. It is one of the two largest Spanish-language networks on U.S. antenna TV.
