About WMUM-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 126 kW effective radiated power, WMUM-TV runs more power than 40% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 330 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 40% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 54 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 60 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 52 cities and towns in our guide with about 389,000 residents, as far as Macon, GA (34 miles).
