About KAJB
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 155 kW effective radiated power, KAJB runs more power than 43% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 476 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 69% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 64 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 69 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 22 cities and towns in our guide with about 355,000 residents, as far as Calexico, CA (47 miles).
KAJB shares its transmitter site with KBFY-LD, KVYE (Univision), KAZS, K11XU-D, KYMA-DT (NBC) and KECY-TV (CW). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
