KDOC-TV (MeTV) · Channel 56.3

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 110 kW effective radiated power, KDOC-TV runs more power than 39% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 1,128 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 98% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 94 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 96 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 361 cities and towns in our guide with about 20,800,000 residents, as far as Escondido, CA (96 miles).

KDOC-TV shares its transmitter site with KNET-CD, KTAV-LD, KCBS-TV (CBS), KHIZ-LD, KNLA-CD and KCAL-TV and 12 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is KAZA-TV in Avalon, CA, 1.4 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
