About WPLG

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 156 kW effective radiated power, WPLG runs more power than 43% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 309 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 32% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 53 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 60 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 171 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,580,000 residents, as far as Palm Beach Gardens, FL (59 miles).

WPLG shares its transmitter site with WSVN (ABC), WEYS-LD, WDGT-LD, WURH-LD, WPBT and WPXM-TV (ION) and 1 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WMOR-TV in Lakeland, FL, 180 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
