KMAX-TV (Telemundo) · Channel 31.7

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, KMAX-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 591 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 85% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 70 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 81 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 346 cities and towns in our guide with about 11,100,000 residents, as far as Atwater, CA (79 miles).

KMAX-TV shares its transmitter site with KTFK-DT, KXTV (ABC), KOVR (CBS) and KSPX-TV (ION). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is KMUM-CD in Sacramento, CA, 32 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.
