About KFWD

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 26 kW effective radiated power, KFWD runs more power than 14% 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 546 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 79% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 67 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 67 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 198 cities and towns in our guide with about 6,630,000 residents, as far as Greenville, TX (63 miles).

KFWD shares its transmitter site with KZFW-LD, KBOP-LD, KUVN-DT (Univision), KTXD-TV, KNAV-LD and KDTN and 10 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
