About WMYA-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 750 kW effective radiated power, WMYA-TV runs more power than 71% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 320 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 37% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 53 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 65 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 129 cities and towns in our guide with about 798,000 residents, as far as Shelby, NC (61 miles).
