WTWO (CW) · Channel 2.2

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 464 kW effective radiated power, WTWO runs more power than 59% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 296 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 26% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 62 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 72 cities and towns in our guide with about 486,000 residents, as far as Plainfield, IN (62 miles).

WTWO shares its transmitter site with WAWV-TV (ABC), W19FD-D, W24FB-D and WTHI-TV (Fox). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CW station in our data is WISH-TV in Indianapolis, IN, 77 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.
