About KMOS-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 322 kW effective radiated power, KMOS-TV runs more power than 53% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 603 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 87% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 71 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 78 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 79 cities and towns in our guide with about 506,000 residents, as far as Rolla, MO (76 miles).
