About WRNN-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 57.8 kW effective radiated power, WRNN-TV runs more power than 31% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 520 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 75% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 66 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 69 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 1,032 cities and towns in our guide with about 33,500,000 residents, as far as Poughkeepsie, NY (68 miles).
WRNN-TV 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.
