About KCIT
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 925 kW effective radiated power, KCIT runs more power than 77% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 455 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 65% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 74 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 26 cities and towns in our guide with about 322,000 residents, as far as Amarillo, TX (8.3 miles).
KCIT shares its transmitter site with KACV-TV, KCPN-LD and KAMR-TV (NBC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Fox station in our data is KJTV-TV in Lubbock, TX, 124 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
