About WLJT-DT
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 142 kW effective radiated power, WLJT-DT runs more power than 41% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 205 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 10% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 44 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 52 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 42 cities and towns in our guide with about 235,000 residents, as far as Jackson, TN (13 miles).
