About WUNJ-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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, WUNJ-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 295 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 64 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 77 cities and towns in our guide with about 816,000 residents, as far as Fayetteville, NC (63 miles).
WUNJ-TV shares its transmitter site with W30ER-D and WILM-LD (MeTV). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
