About KFXK-TV
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 845 kW effective radiated power, KFXK-TV runs more power than 75% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 360 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 48% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 56 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 68 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 67 cities and towns in our guide with about 527,000 residents, as far as Lufkin, TX (65 miles).
The nearest other Fox station in our data is KMSS-TV in Shreveport, LA, 66 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.
