About WTCE-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 730 kW effective radiated power, WTCE-TV runs more power than 71% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 297 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 27% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 63 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 115 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,580,000 residents, as far as Fort Lauderdale, FL (62 miles).
WTCE-TV shares its transmitter site with WWHB-CD, WTCN-CD, W11DH-D and WXOD-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Trinity station in our data is WHFT-TV in Miami, FL, 71 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
