About WMYD
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 935 kW effective radiated power, WMYD runs more power than 78% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 324 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 38% 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 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 187 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,250,000 residents, as far as Perrysburg, OH (66 miles).
WMYD shares its transmitter site with WTVS, WUDL-LD, WUDT-LD, WWJ-TV (CBS) and WHNE-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
