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.
