About WXGA-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 35.3 kW effective radiated power, WXGA-TV runs more power than 21% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 315 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 35% 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 55 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 32 cities and towns in our guide with about 172,000 residents, as far as Valdosta, GA (50 miles).
