WTOK-TV (CW) · Channel 11.3

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 115 kW effective radiated power, WTOK-TV runs more power than 40% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 160 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 5% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 40 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 47 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 22 cities and towns in our guide with about 92,500 residents, as far as Meridian, MS (2.6 miles).

WTOK-TV shares its transmitter site with WOOK-LD, WGBC (Fox) and WMDN (CBS). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CW station in our data is WHLT in Hattiesburg, MS, 71 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.
