About WNAB

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 510 kW effective radiated power, WNAB runs more power than 62% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 411 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 58% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 60 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 69 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 87 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,690,000 residents, as far as Shelbyville, TN (57 miles).

WNAB shares its transmitter site with WZTV (CW), WUXP-TV, WJFB (MeTV), WJNK-LD (Trinity), WPGD-TV (Trinity) and WNTU-LD and 5 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
