About WTLF

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, WTLF runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 510 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 73% 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 77 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 58 cities and towns in our guide with about 542,000 residents, as far as Albany, GA (63 miles).

WTLF shares its transmitter site with WTLH (CW), WTWC-TV (Fox) and W29FO-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CW station in our data is WTLH in Bainbridge, GA, 0.0 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
