About KLPA-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 572 kW effective radiated power, KLPA-TV runs more power than 64% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 413 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 58% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 60 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 70 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 54 cities and towns in our guide with about 275,000 residents, as far as Ruston, LA (66 miles).
KLPA-TV shares its transmitter site with KLAX-TV (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
