About WSMH
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 245 kW effective radiated power, WSMH runs more power than 48% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 366 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 48% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 57 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 64 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 138 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,570,000 residents, as far as Birmingham, MI (64 miles).
The nearest other Fox station in our data is WSYM-TV in Lansing, MI, 60 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.
