About WUPX-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 465 kW effective radiated power, WUPX-TV runs more power than 59% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 354 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 46% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 56 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 108 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,210,000 residents, as far as Elizabethtown, KY (65 miles).
The nearest other ION station in our data is WPXK-TV in Jellico, TN, 130 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
ION Television is a commercial network built around crime and procedural drama series, with some live sports. It is carried free over the air in most large markets.
