WSFX-TV (Fox) · Channel 26

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 240 kW effective radiated power, WSFX-TV runs more power than 48% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 592 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 85% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 70 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 77 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 88 cities and towns in our guide with about 861,000 residents, as far as Fayetteville, NC (75 miles).

WSFX-TV shares its transmitter site with WWAY (CW), WECT (NBC) and W35EF-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is WFXB in Myrtle Beach, SC, 57 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
