About WUNF-TV
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 125 kW effective radiated power, WUNF-TV runs more power than 40% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 816 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 94% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 81 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 85 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 239 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,660,000 residents, as far as Hickory, NC (82 miles).
WUNF-TV shares its transmitter site with WLOS (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
