KLBK-TV (CBS) · Channel 13

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, KLBK-TV runs more power than 56% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 266 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 20% 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 59 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 30 cities and towns in our guide with about 362,000 residents, as far as Plainview, TX (46 miles).

KLBK-TV shares its transmitter site with KAMC (ABC), KBZO-LD and K13ZQ-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other CBS station in our data is KFDA-TV in Amarillo, TX, 122 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

CBS is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks. Local CBS affiliates carry the network's news, daytime and primetime schedule plus local news, and CBS is the over-the-air home of many NFL Sunday afternoon games.
