KNLC (MeTV) · Channel 24.1

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 900 kW effective radiated power, KNLC runs more power than 76% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 394 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 55% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 58 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 70 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 215 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,260,000 residents, as far as Edwardsville, IL (45 miles).

The nearest other MeTV station in our data is WHOI in Peoria, IL, 166 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.
