KSWB-TV (Fox) · Channel 69

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 350 kW effective radiated power, KSWB-TV runs more power than 54% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).

Its antenna sits 596 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 86% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 70 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 78 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 102 cities and towns in our guide with about 4,650,000 residents, as far as Palm Desert, CA (78 miles).

KSWB-TV shares its transmitter site with KZSD-LD, KSDY-LD, KNSD (NBC), KUAN-LD (Telemundo), KRPE-LD and KUSI-TV and 2 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.

The nearest other Fox station in our data is KDFX-CD in Indio/Palm Springs, CA, 86 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

Fox is one of the four big commercial broadcast networks, known for its sports lineup including NFL, MLB and college football. Many Fox affiliates also produce local news.
