About KIFI-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 500 kW effective radiated power, KIFI-TV runs more power than 60% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 444 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 63% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 62 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 71 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 20 cities and towns in our guide with about 216,000 residents, as far as Rexburg, ID (49 miles).
KIFI-TV shares its transmitter site with KISU-TV and KIDK (Fox). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other CW station in our data is KMVT in Twin Falls, ID, 103 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
