About KTFF-DT
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 330 kW effective radiated power, KTFF-DT runs more power than 53% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 811 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 94% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 81 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 87 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 107 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,120,000 residents, as far as Madera, CA (82 miles).
KTFF-DT shares its transmitter site with KNXT-LD, KIFR and KEDZ. One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
