About KDVR
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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, KDVR runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 316 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 35% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 53 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 126 cities and towns in our guide with about 3,440,000 residents, as far as Fort Collins, CO (60 miles).
KDVR shares its transmitter site with KQDK-CD, KLPD-LD, KHDT-LD, KZDN-LD, KZCO-LD and KBRO-LD and 9 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Fox station in our data is KFCT in Fort Collins, CO, 67 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
