About KHIN
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 600 kW effective radiated power, KHIN runs more power than 65% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 475 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 68% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 63 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 79 cities and towns in our guide with about 878,000 residents, as far as Fremont, NE (65 miles).
