KKJB (Telemundo) · Channel 39

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 20.7 kW effective radiated power, KKJB runs more power than 11% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.

Its antenna sits 534 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 77% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 67 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 60 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 26 cities and towns in our guide with about 512,000 residents, as far as Caldwell, ID (28 miles).

KKJB shares its transmitter site with KKIC-LD, KBSE-LD, KEVA-LD (Univision), KIWB-LD, KCBB-LD and KZAK-LD and 3 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is KQRE-CD in Bend, OR, 244 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Telemundo is a Spanish-language broadcast network with telenovelas, news, entertainment and major soccer coverage. It is one of the two largest Spanish-language networks on U.S. antenna TV.
