About WZDX

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 522 kW effective radiated power, WZDX runs more power than 62% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 525 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 76% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 66 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 76 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 141 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,330,000 residents, as far as East Ridge, TN (75 miles).

WZDX shares its transmitter site with WHVD-LD, WAAY-TV (ABC), W34EY-D, WNAL-LD, WHNT-TV (CBS) and WHIQ. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is WBRC in Birmingham, AL, 88 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.
