About WNED-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 175 kW effective radiated power, WNED-TV runs more power than 44% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 332 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 41% 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 61 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 89 cities and towns in our guide with about 977,000 residents, as far as Lockport, NY (15 miles).
WNED-TV shares its transmitter site with WUTV (Fox), WBNF-CD and WNYO-TV. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
