About WTVE
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 15 kW effective radiated power, WTVE runs more power than 8% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 51 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 485 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,610,000 residents, as far as East Brunswick, NJ (51 miles).
WTVE shares its transmitter site with WDPN-TV (MeTV), WDUM-LD, WWSI (Telemundo), WCAU (NBC), WPHA-CD and W25FG-D and 14 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
