About KAAH-TV
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 262 kW effective radiated power, KAAH-TV runs more power than 49% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 580 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 76 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 52 cities and towns in our guide with about 974,000 residents, as far as East Honolulu, HI (25 miles).
KAAH-TV shares its transmitter site with KWBN, KIKU, KHET, KGMB (CBS), KHNL (NBC) and KHII-TV. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Trinity station in our data is KTBN-TV in Santa Ana, CA, 2,583 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is a Christian religious broadcaster with a large network of owned stations and translators.
