About WNJS
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 281 kW effective radiated power, WNJS runs more power than 50% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 264 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 19% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 49 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 58 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 470 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,890,000 residents, as far as Piscataway, NJ (58 miles).
WNJS shares its transmitter site with WNJT, WZPA-LD and WACP. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
