About KBWT
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 0.43 kW effective radiated power, KBWT runs more power than 0% 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 303 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 29% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 52 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 8.6 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 1 city or town in our guide with about 2,480 residents.
