About KSIN-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 400 kW effective radiated power, KSIN-TV runs more power than 56% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 348 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 45% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 55 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 65 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 50 cities and towns in our guide with about 250,000 residents, as far as Sioux City, IA (5.0 miles).
