About WSAV-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 800 kW effective radiated power, WSAV-TV runs more power than 73% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 442 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 61 cities and towns in our guide with about 633,000 residents, as far as Statesboro, GA (39 miles).

The nearest other CW station in our data is WJBF in Augusta, GA, 98 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
