About WTGL
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, WTGL runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 380 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 52% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 58 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 70 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 181 cities and towns in our guide with about 3,000,000 residents, as far as Palm Coast, FL (68 miles).
WTGL shares its transmitter site with WUCF-TV (PBS), WOFL (Fox) and WRBW. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
