About KFFV
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 260 kW effective radiated power, KFFV runs more power than 49% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 259 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 18% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 49 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 58 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 212 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,100,000 residents, as far as Mount Vernon, WA (56 miles).
KFFV shares its transmitter site with KSTW, KCTS-TV and KZJO. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other MeTV station in our data is KJJC in Great Falls, MT, 511 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
