About KDTN
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 415 kW effective radiated power, KDTN runs more power than 58% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 494 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 70% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 65 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 215 cities and towns in our guide with about 6,840,000 residents, as far as Waco, TX (73 miles).
KDTN shares its transmitter site with KUVN-DT (Univision), KTXD-TV, KNAV-LD, KHPK-LD, KDTX-TV (Trinity) and KPTD-LP and 14 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
