KTLM (Telemundo) · Channel 40

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

Its antenna sits 576 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 83% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 69 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 80 cities and towns in our guide with about 895,000 residents, as far as San Benito, TX (69 miles).

The nearest other Telemundo station in our data is KXNU-CD in Laredo, TX, 101 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.
