About WLUC-TV
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 100 kW effective radiated power, WLUC-TV runs more power than 38% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 258 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 18% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 49 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 55 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 20 cities and towns in our guide with about 76,200 residents, as far as Marquette, MI (26 miles).
