About KARD
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 691 kW effective radiated power, KARD runs more power than 68% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 524 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 76% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 66 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 63 cities and towns in our guide with about 353,000 residents, as far as Alexandria, LA (56 miles).
The nearest other CW station in our data is KALB-TV in Alexandria, LA, 75 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
