About WMTJ
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 174 kW effective radiated power, WMTJ runs more power than 44% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 853 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 96% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 82 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 87 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 206 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,220,000 residents, as far as Saint Croix, VI (80 miles).
WMTJ shares its transmitter site with WRUA, WVQS-LD and WORO-DT. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
