About WUNU
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 329 kW effective radiated power, WUNU runs more power than 53% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 317 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 36% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 53 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 75 cities and towns in our guide with about 682,000 residents, as far as Holly Springs, NC (60 miles).
