About WTTE
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, WTTE runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 271 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 20% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 50 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 63 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 147 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,160,000 residents, as far as Riverside, OH (60 miles).
WTTE shares its transmitter site with WWHO (CW), WQMC-LD (Telemundo), WDEM-CD and WSYX (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
