About KAZS
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 100 kW effective radiated power, KAZS runs more power than 38% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 434 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 61% 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 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 21 cities and towns in our guide with about 351,000 residents, as far as Calexico, CA (47 miles).
KAZS shares its transmitter site with KBFY-LD, KVYE (Univision), KAJB, K11XU-D, KYMA-DT (NBC) and KECY-TV (CW). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
