KHGI-TV (ABC) · Channel 27

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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, KHGI-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 338 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 43% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 55 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 30 cities and towns in our guide with about 168,000 residents, as far as Grand Island, NE (33 miles).

The nearest other ABC station in our data is KLKN in Lincoln, NE, 83 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

ABC is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks. Local ABC affiliates carry the national morning, evening news and primetime schedule alongside their own local newscasts, and the network carries major sports such as NBA games.
