About KREG-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 16.1 kW effective radiated power, KREG-TV runs more power than 9% 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 774 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 94% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 79 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 53 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 21 cities and towns in our guide with about 98,900 residents.
KREG-TV shares its transmitter site with K20OE-D, K29CK-D, K31CW-D, K24NZ-D, K22OI-D and K28JY-D and 1 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other MeTV station in our data is KCSG in Cedar City, UT, 330 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.
