About KENV-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 1.5 kW effective radiated power, KENV-DT runs more power than 1% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 562 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 81% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 68 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 16 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 2 cities and towns in our guide with about 22,600 residents, as far as Elko, NV (12 miles).
KENV-DT shares its transmitter site with K23FC-D, K25FR-D, K26OE-D, K19FZ-D and K28PJ-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
