KAKW-DT (Univision) · Channel 62

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 39 kW effective radiated power, KAKW-DT runs more power than 22% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.

Its antenna sits 553 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 79% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 68 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 95 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,100,000 residents, as far as Canyon Lake, TX (61 miles).

The nearest other Univision station in our data is KWEX-DT in San Antonio, TX, 102 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Univision is the largest Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., carrying telenovelas, news, entertainment and soccer.
