About KNAT-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 320 kW effective radiated power, KNAT-TV runs more power than 53% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 1,245 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 99% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 98 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 104 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 70 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,110,000 residents, as far as Santa Fe, NM (44 miles).
KNAT-TV shares its transmitter site with KNME-TV, KNMD-TV, KOB (NBC), KQDF-LD, KASA-TV (Telemundo) and KASY-TV and 13 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Trinity station in our data is KPAZ-TV in Phoenix, AZ, 346 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is a Christian religious broadcaster with a large network of owned stations and translators.
