About KMLU

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 25 kW effective radiated power, KMLU runs more power than 13% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.

Its antenna sits 518 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 75% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 66 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 66 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 49 cities and towns in our guide with about 296,000 residents, as far as Alexandria, LA (65 miles).

KMLU shares its transmitter site with KLTM-TV and KNOE-TV (ABC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is KMYA-DT in Camden, AR, 83 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a free over-the-air network of classic TV series from the 1950s through the 1990s. It is often carried on a subchannel of a local station.
