Although WTVN only uses 5 kW of power during the day, the station can be heard as far away as Indianapolis,
Fort Wayne, and Cleveland. At night, the signal is much more limited and can be difficult to receiveeven within Columbus. There were plans to improve WTVN's signal by adding a new antenna array and increasing power to 50kW, but these plans fell through when zoning problems could not be resolved. Ultimately, WTVN tried to claim the right to build new towers as a "public utility" but lost in court on May 12 2002.
