About WSCG
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, WSCG runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 349 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 45% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 56 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 68 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 58 cities and towns in our guide with about 620,000 residents, as far as Statesboro, GA (38 miles).
WSCG shares its transmitter site with WTGS (Fox). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
