About WMGM-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 205 kW effective radiated power, WMGM-TV runs more power than 47% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 127 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 3% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 36 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 46 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 83 cities and towns in our guide with about 690,000 residents, as far as Jackson, NJ (45 miles).
WMGM-TV shares its transmitter site with WGTW-TV. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
