About KTVC
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 50 kW effective radiated power, KTVC runs more power than 27% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW). Stations on VHF channels are licensed at much lower power than UHF stations to cover the same area, so a low figure does not always mean a weak signal.
Its antenna sits 213 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 11% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 45 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 49 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 20 cities and towns in our guide with about 111,000 residents, as far as Roseburg, OR (1.6 miles).
KTVC shares its transmitter site with K28KI-D and KPIC (CBS). One antenna aimed at this site picks up all of them.
