WUHF (Fox) · Channel 31

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 320 kW effective radiated power, WUHF runs more power than 53% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 161 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 51 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 69 cities and towns in our guide with about 566,000 residents, as far as Irondequoit, NY (5.4 miles).

WUHF shares its transmitter site with WGCE-CD, WBGT-CD, WAWW-LD, WXXI-TV, WHAM-TV (CW) and WHEC-TV (NBC) and 1 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is WUTV in Buffalo, NY, 68 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
