KTVL (CW) · Channel 10.2

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

Its antenna sits 1,001 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 98% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 89 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.

We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 95 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 44 cities and towns in our guide with about 342,000 residents, as far as Roseburg, OR (85 miles).

The nearest other CW station in our data is KTCW in Roseburg, OR, 84 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.
