About KTEN

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

Its antenna sits 426 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 60% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 61 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 72 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 70 cities and towns in our guide with about 369,000 residents, as far as Shawnee, OK (70 miles).

The nearest other CW station in our data is KAUT-TV in Oklahoma City, OK, 99 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.

The CW is a commercial broadcast network carrying entertainment series and a growing slate of sports. In smaller markets it often runs as a subchannel of another station rather than its own transmitter.
