About KHNE-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 400 kW effective radiated power, KHNE-TV runs more power than 56% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 368 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 49% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 57 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 34 cities and towns in our guide with about 201,000 residents, as far as Columbus, NE (59 miles).
