About KCEC
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 650 kW effective radiated power, KCEC runs more power than 67% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 363 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 48% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 56 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 67 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 128 cities and towns in our guide with about 3,920,000 residents, as far as Fort Collins, CO (64 miles).
KCEC shares its transmitter site with KRMA-TV and KETD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Univision station in our data is KVSN-DT in Pueblo, CO, 67 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.
