About WLMB
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 375 kW effective radiated power, WLMB runs more power than 55% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 168 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 6% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 41 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 111 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,230,000 residents, as far as Taylor, MI (52 miles).
WLMB shares its transmitter site with WDMY-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
