About WYDO
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 350 kW effective radiated power, WYDO runs more power than 54% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 581 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 84% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 69 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 77 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 111 cities and towns in our guide with about 908,000 residents, as far as Wilmington, NC (70 miles).
WYDO shares its transmitter site with WCTI-TV (ABC) and WUNM-TV. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
