About WTLH

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 560 kW effective radiated power, WTLH runs more power than 64% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 600 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 87% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 70 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 80 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 60 cities and towns in our guide with about 545,000 residents, as far as Albany, GA (63 miles).

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

The nearest other CW station in our data is WTLF in Tallahassee, FL, 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.
