KOTI (NBC) · Channel 2

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 9 kW effective radiated power, KOTI runs more power than 5% 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 659 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 91% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 73 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 39 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 2 cities and towns in our guide with about 40,700 residents, as far as Klamath Falls, OR (12 miles).

KOTI shares its transmitter site with KDKF (ABC), KFTS, K26NB-D, K19HH-D and K31NH-D. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other NBC station in our data is KOBI in Medford, OR, 91 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

NBC is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks. Local NBC affiliates carry the national morning show, evening news and primetime lineup, plus Sunday Night Football and, in Olympic years, the Games.
