About KABB

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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, KABB runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 441 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 62% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 61 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 93 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,160,000 residents, as far as Kyle, TX (54 miles).

The nearest other Fox station in our data is KTBC in Austin, TX, 76 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.
