About KDTV-DT

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 475 kW effective radiated power, KDTV-DT runs more power than 59% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 701 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 92% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 75 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 84 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 308 cities and towns in our guide with about 10,800,000 residents, as far as Carmichael, CA (83 miles).

KDTV-DT shares its transmitter site with KTSF, KAXT-CD, KTLN-TV (MeTV), KSTS (Telemundo) and KSCZ-LD. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
