About WLXI
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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, WLXI runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 500 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 71% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 76 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 184 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,080,000 residents, as far as Huntersville, NC (72 miles).
WLXI shares its transmitter site with WUNL-TV, WCWG (CW) and WXII-TV (NBC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
