About WTJX-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 42.9 kW effective radiated power, WTJX-TV runs more power than 24% 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 506 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 72% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 67 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 50 cities and towns in our guide with about 458,000 residents, as far as Carolina, PR (66 miles).
WTJX-TV shares its transmitter site with WVXF (Fox) and WVGN-LD (NBC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
