About KREN-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, KREN-TV runs more power than 79% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 896 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 97% 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 122 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,870,000 residents, as far as Arden-Arcade, CA (94 miles).

KREN-TV shares its transmitter site with KRNS-CD, KOLO-TV (CW), KXNV-LD, KTVN (CBS), KRNV-DT and K34QQ-D and 1 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
