WLNE-TV (MeTV) · Channel 6.5

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 294 kW effective radiated power, WLNE-TV runs more power than 51% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 302 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 28% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 61 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 389 cities and towns in our guide with about 7,560,000 residents, as far as Gloucester, MA (61 miles).

WLNE-TV shares its transmitter site with WJAR (ABC), WSBE-TV, WRIW-CD (Telemundo) and WPRI-TV (CBS). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WJLP in Middletown Township, NJ, 160 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
