About WRBW
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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, WRBW runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 446 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 63% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 192 cities and towns in our guide with about 3,070,000 residents, as far as Palm Coast, FL (68 miles).
WRBW shares its transmitter site with WOFL (Fox), WTGL and WUCF-TV (PBS). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
