About KGTF
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 54.7 kW effective radiated power, KGTF runs more power than 30% 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 178 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 7% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 42 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 47 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 22 cities and towns in our guide with about 184,000 residents, as far as Yigo Village, GU (5.1 miles).
KGTF shares its transmitter site with KTGM (ABC), KEQI-LD (Fox) and KTKB-LD (CW). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
