About KOCE-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 1,000 kW effective radiated power, KOCE-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 892 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 96% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 84 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 355 cities and towns in our guide with about 20,200,000 residents, as far as Yucca Valley, CA (94 miles).
KOCE-TV shares its transmitter site with KSCI, KCET, KLCS (PBS), KTBN-TV (Trinity), KTTV (Fox) and KCOP-TV and 13 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
