About WTOG
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 650 kW effective radiated power, WTOG runs more power than 67% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 454 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 65% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 266 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,510,000 residents, as far as Orlando, FL (72 miles).
WTOG shares its transmitter site with WEDU (PBS), WVEA-TV (Univision), WEDQ, WRMD-CD (Telemundo), WGCT-LD and WTBT-LD and 4 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
