About KLTJ
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 350 kW effective radiated power, KLTJ runs more power than 54% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 579 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 83% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 69 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 77 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 146 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,450,000 residents, as far as Conroe, TX (51 miles).
KLTJ shares its transmitter site with KVVV-LD, KVQT-LD, KFTH-DT, KTMD (Telemundo), KUGB-CD and KUHT and 11 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
