About KOCM
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 27 kW effective radiated power, KOCM runs more power than 15% 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 416 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 59% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 60 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 61 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 70 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,390,000 residents, as far as Stillwater, OK (45 miles).
KOCM shares its transmitter site with KTUZ-TV (Telemundo), KOCO-TV (ABC), KOPX-TV (ION), KAUT-TV (CW) and KFOR-TV (NBC). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
