WMTW

WMTW-TV, licensed to Portland, Maine, broadcasts on Channel 8 from Baldwin, Maine and is an ABC affiliate. However, until early 2002, the transmitter was located atop Mount Washington, New Hampshire, the highest peak in the Northeastern United States. This resulted in one of the largest coverage areas of a single signal in the United States. At one point, WMTW was seen as far away as Montreal, Quebec and many parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, eastern New York and northern Massachusetts as a result.
