WXIN (Fox) · Channel 59

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, WXIN runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 304 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 29% 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 65 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 131 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,310,000 residents, as far as Marion, IN (54 miles).

WXIN shares its transmitter site with WTTK (CBS), WNDY-TV, WISH-TV (CW), WIIH-CD, WDTI and WJSJ-CD and 6 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is WTHI-TV in Terre Haute, IN, 77 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
