About KJTL
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, KJTL runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 263 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 19% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 49 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 62 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 32 cities and towns in our guide with about 325,000 residents, as far as Duncan, OK (49 miles).
