KMEX-DT (Univision) · Channel 34

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 500 kW effective radiated power, KMEX-DT runs more power than 60% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 956 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 97% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 87 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 94 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 356 cities and towns in our guide with about 20,300,000 residents, as far as Santa Barbara, CA (94 miles).

KMEX-DT shares its transmitter site with KFTR-DT, KFLA-LD, KPXN-TV (ION), KILM, KABC-TV (ABC) and KRCA and 19 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Univision station in our data is KABE-CD in Bakersfield, CA, 92 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Univision is the largest Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., carrying telenovelas, news, entertainment and soccer.
