About KSCE
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 150 kW effective radiated power, KSCE runs more power than 42% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 557 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 80% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 68 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 73 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 36 cities and towns in our guide with about 1,000,000 residents, as far as Las Cruces, NM (39 miles).
KSCE shares its transmitter site with KTDO (Telemundo), KVIA-TV (CW), K27OJ-D, KTSM-TV (NBC) and KTFN. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
