About WNJU

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 575 kW effective radiated power, WNJU runs more power than 64% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 496 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 71% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 74 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 1,106 cities and towns in our guide with about 34,200,000 residents, as far as Branford, CT (74 miles).

WNJU shares its transmitter site with WCBS-TV (CBS), WMBQ-CD, WNET, WNYW (Fox), WNWT-LD and WLIW and 8 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is WWSI in Mount Laurel, NJ, 79 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Telemundo is a Spanish-language broadcast network with telenovelas, news, entertainment and major soccer coverage. It is one of the two largest Spanish-language networks on U.S. antenna TV.
