About WSST-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 66.2 kW effective radiated power, WSST-TV runs more power than 33% 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 111 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 2% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 35 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 41 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 23 cities and towns in our guide with about 194,000 residents, as far as Albany, GA (30 miles).
WSST-TV shares its transmitter site with WSST-LD (MeTV). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WFXU in Live Oak, FL, 104 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
