About KBRR
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 9.3 kW effective radiated power, KBRR runs more power than 5% 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 198 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 9% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 44 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 40 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 8 cities and towns in our guide with about 88,500 residents, as far as Grand Forks, ND (20 miles).
KBRR shares its transmitter site with KGFE and KCGE-DT. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Fox station in our data is KNRR in Pembina, ND, 79 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.
