About KTAZ
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 595 kW effective radiated power, KTAZ runs more power than 65% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 545 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 79% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 67 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 77 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 68 cities and towns in our guide with about 5,210,000 residents, as far as Florence, AZ (44 miles).
KTAZ shares its transmitter site with KPPX-TV (ION), KNXV-TV (ABC), KUTP, KPHO-TV (CBS), KAZT-CD (CW) and KDPH-LD and 18 more. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is KHRR in Tucson, AZ, 93 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Telemundo is a Spanish-language broadcast network with telenovelas, news, entertainment and major soccer coverage. It is one of the two largest Spanish-language networks on U.S. antenna TV.
